It looks like Anya Taylor-Joy could be set to reunite with The Witch director Robert Eggers, with Variety reporting that the actress is in talks to star in Eggers’ upcoming remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent horror classic Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror.
An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu follows the vampire Count Orlok as he tries to purchase a house in Germany, and finds himself enamoured with the real-estate agent’s wife.
According to the site, Eggers had wanted to team up with Taylor-Joy early after signing on to the project, but has been forced to wait due to her roles in Split and the upcoming X-Men: The New Mutants.
Eggers is directing Nosferatu for Studio 8, where he also has another project – The Knight – set up. Meanwhile, he is also attached to a miniseries based upon the life of the Russian mystic Rasputin.
