Eggers will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Sjón, with whom he co-wrote on The Northman. Both Eggers and Sjón will produce alongside Focus Features, while Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbusserve as executive producers.
Nosferatu has grossed just over $90m in North America, making it the studio’s second highest grossing release behind Downton Abbey on just shy of $97m.
