On Christmas Day itself, Wednesday, December 25, the movie screens will bring us a very special gift, and very untraditional for these holidays, in the form of a gloomy and terrifying proposal. This is when the new version of Nosferatuthe longed for remake that the author of The witch, Robert EggersI wanted to do for a long time paying homage to Murnau’s 1922 classic and at the same time searching for his own identity. And with the film we echo, once again, the fashion that has burst with unusual force into American cinemas and among lovers of movie collectibles this year, a new bucket of popcorn.
Rivaling in attractiveness with miniature replica of the catamaran to store nachos (!) Moana 2the new Nosferatu will make us come across the fangs of the bloodsucker and its unsuspecting victims, but it will also bring a container that could not be more suitable and that is already causing a sensation on social networks. Nothing less, and as it could not be less, than a sinister coffin. Or rather, a sarcophagus for its ornaments and inscriptions, for being more majestic, solemn and seeming to be made of stone.
It is the cube that will throw Regal Cinemasthe second largest chain by number of cinemas in the United States, only instead of finding a fearsome vampire inside, the most daring will be able to sink their teeth into that appetizer so associated with watching movies. Perfect to accompany the movie in question or to enjoy any horror session at home. And to check how the invention has turned out, there is nothing better than giving it a good look at the promotional video.
As far as prices are concerned, The Hollywood Reporter informs us that they can be purchased for about $30.99and that would be reduced to 25.99 for those spectators who buy it with their ticket. Also, courtesy of Regal Cinemas, we have another image of what more than a “bucket” we could now call a “popcorn sarcophagus”.
The distribution of Nosferatu is made up of Bill Skarsgard in the skin and fangs of Count Orlok (Nosferatu), the name with which Murnau’s film replaced the original Count Dracula, and also changing the names of the rest of the characters, to try to avoid the “small” problem of not owning copyrights to Bram Stoker’s novel.
A ploy that did not work, since the writer’s widow, Florence Balcombewon the lawsuit he later filed against the production company, Prana-Film. declared bankrupt, Nosferatu It was the first and last film made by this production company.
Together with Skarsgard, adding another to his gallery of diabolical and iconic characters since his characterization of the clown Pennywise in the two installments of Itemthey will be Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson either Willem Dafoe as the tireless and veteran vampire hunter Von Franz (that is, Van Helsing in Stoker’s original work).
