Robert Eggers Contacted Bill Skarsgård About ‘Nosferatu’ After Seeing Him In ‘IT: Chapter Two’

Nosferatu director Robert Eggers said it was because of another horror role — Pennywise the Clown— that led him to pursue Bill Skarsgård to play Count Orlok. However, it wasn’t Skarsgård’s portrayal as the clown that inspired Eggers.

“It was [Bill’s role] as Pennywise, but in IT: Chapter Two, when he played Pennywise as a middle-aged human man instead of a clown,” Eggers said in a Zoom conversation prior to the film’s theatrical release. “It just had a kind of darkness and depth that I really believed.

“So, that’s when I emailed or texted Bill and said, ‘Let’s talk about Orlok.’ I really wanted to work with Bill since I met him almost 10 years ago,” the filmmaker added. “I cast him in The Northman in a supporting role but because of COVID, it didn’t happen. He was always on my mind.”

Nosferatu received awards season recognition for films released in 2024, largely in the technical categories.
