Summary created with

No one is currently shooting horror as well as Robert Eggers. The 40-year-old originally comes from the theater, where he was responsible for the set design.

You can see Eggers' attention to detail in every scene, as in "Nosferatu". Thanks to his previous films, the director was quickly able to secure many big names for his latest project - only one has remained loyal to him for three films: Willem Dafoe.

In an interview with the director and the actor, it becomes clear: it was love at first sight - and Robert Eggers still can't believe that an acting icon like Dafoe wanted to work with him.
