    Nosferatu Remake

    Director Robert Eggers, who won the directing prize at Sundance for THE WITCH, is tackling a remake of F.W. Murnau's silent classic, NOSFERATU, for Studio 8. The production company is best known for the indies BEGINNERS and AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS. There is no word on how direct of a remake this version of the story will be but the untitled film is described as a visceral adaptation.

    I love remakes actually, because they just motivate me to watch the original again. I'm sure this will be a POS, like most remakes of foreign language movies are.

    Herzog's Nosferatu remake with Klaus Kinski was fantastic and since the original is a cannibalized version of Dracula and that gets remade every 3 or 4 days, I say bring on another Nosferatu.

    Can't be worse than Dracula 3D

    Original was creepy good stuff...not my favorite, but pretty cool. A remake of this doesn't bother me.

    I understand that Bram Stoker's widow mercilessly sued their asses off.

    Yes under the settlement all copies of this were to be destroyed. And the majority were. A handfull of prints made it out of the country. Hence us being able to still view this.

    Yeah exactly, it's just the story of Dracula again and unless they do something new with it. But what can you do that hasn't been done? I know they will exploit the iconic image of Max Schreck because that's the only real point in remaking Nosferatu.

    If someone blatantly copied my work without permission, I'd be pissed off, too. Mrs. Stoker was justified in her legal action, but I am very glad that Murnau's film survived the eradication.

    The only reason to be pissed about someone copying your work, is the money involved plus blatant egoism. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Not that Stoker's novel is the most original, it's just the success of it that turned it into a cultural icon. And people don't want to share their piece of the pie once they have it, unless they get their slice.

    Too bad bittorrent didn't exist in 1897.

    You have a pretty warped view of artists and people getting credit where credit is due.

    "Credit where credit is due" - if you're talking about acknowledging the original creator, then that's just professional courtesy. That's what the makers of Nosferatu should have done, just add a credit saying "inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula", as it wasn't really a direct rip-off.

    My point is that how can anyone own 'ideas' IE intellectual property. It's madness and mostly about making money.

    How far after BS dracula was this movie made? I assume a few years

    I think getting money for your creation is obviously good. But I do think once you have cuperated your losses and earned some wedge then why shouldnt people be able to copy and sometimes improve.

    I think copyrights should be limited to 10 years maximum to encourage creativity.

    Regarding the OP i never watched the original but would be happy to and compare the remake
