Perfect Choice For Nosferatu Is Bill Skarsgård
Skarsgård's Count Orlok still begs many questions, but the actor has already shown he is the best fit for the role. Naturally, the actor became well-known mostly from his work in the horror genre—especially from the Stephen King IT adaption. In these two immensely successful films, both of which received relatively positive reviews and box office success, Skargård portrayed Pennywise the Clown.
Like in Nosferatu, Skarsgård vanishes as Pennywise; but his acting is good even with the striking makeup, prosthesis, and costume. Especially the actor's voice and chuckle, two of the most unforgettable features of his performance of the character. Apart from already performing a great, larger-than-life monster, Skarsgård has enhanced his reputation as one of Hollywood's most intriguing performers with his parts in films like Barbarian and as part of the John Wick: Chapter 4 cast.
"Like Conjuring Pure Evil": Bill Skarsgård Shows Robert Eggers' Nosferatu Vampire Chilling Preview
Star of Nosferatu Bill Skarsgård gives a terrifying peek of his character in the next Robert Eggers film. Eggers's Nosferatu stars Skarsgård as the vampire Count Orlok, a remake of the 1922 cinema with the same name, an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula novel. Though the movie is slated to release in theaters later this year, Skarsgård's character is still a mystery and his looks haven't yet been made public; this is Eggers's most recent effort following The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman.
Skarsgård lately spoke with Esquire on his vampiric character in Nosferatu. The actor said he worked with an opera singer to drop his voice to its lowest possible level and that his makeup took three to six hours every day. His remarks are below:
Count Orlok by Skarsgård: An Interpretive View of His Change
Along with Skarsgård, Nosferatu stars Emma Corin, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Ineson, and Lily-Rose Depp.
"It proved to be a drain. It was like summoning just complete evil. I needed some time to free myself of the demon summoned within of me. In it, I doubt anyone will find me recognizable. He is horrible. Still, it is quite sexually oriented. Playing with a sexual fantasy about the strength of the monster and your all attractiveness is Hopefully your fascination at the same time will both enticize and disgust you somewhat.
Recent Roles of Skarsgård
Skarsgård will also feature in The Crow remake. Though the movie is not yet out, the first teaser for it already alluded to another somewhat extreme (and sinister) metamorphosis for the actor. Hopefully Skarsgård's Count Orlok will be revealed with Eggers' picture slated to premiere in the next few months when Nosferatu is planned to open in theatres in December. Still, ideally the teaser leaves some intrigue about the character and Skarsgård's portrayal.
Nosferatu is a retelling of the same-named silent film F. W. Murnau's 1922 production. With Bill Skarsgård playing Count Orlok, Robert Eggers is working as writer and director on his own interpretation of the plot for the reboot. In Nosferatu, a young woman becomes victim to a vampire completely fascinated with her.
Anya Taylor-Joy Shows Groundbreaking CGI from Furiosa to Match Young Actress Look
The star of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Anya Taylor-Joy, has talked on the innovative CGI used in the film to smoothly transition from the younger actor Alyla Browne to her seamless presence in the movie. There are chapters to Furiosa; Browne plays the first two's titular small girl, and Taylor-Joy takes over the part in Chapter 3, producing a transition that somehow seems seamless despite the performers' disparate ages.
Taylor-Joy showed on The Kelly Clarkson Show how Furiosa employed modern CGI to progressively make Browne more like her adult co-star. She detailed how director George Miller stayed to the plan, giving Browne at the start of the movie 35% like Taylor-Joy and by the end of Chapter 2 80% like her. The remarks of Taylor-Joy about the technology follow:
Anya Taylor-Joy Shares Views on CGI
George Miller developed the idea early on. Already the audience were adjusting to a new Furiosa. He wanted a flawless change between two people playing her. I then spent two days engaging in the most bizarre activities one could ever possibly conceive. They blended our faces as well.
One finds really amazing the technological development.
