Reasons to be cheerful (if remakes of monster movies make you cheerful):
- Robert Eggers is filming a remake of Nosferatu starring Willem Dafoe and Lily-Rose Depp.
- Guillermo del Toro is filming a remake of Frankenstein starring Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Charles Dance, and Christopher Waltz.
- Maggie Gyllenhaal is filming a remake of Bride of Frankenstein starring Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley.
In related Frankenstein news, HBO Max is currently streaming 2015's Victor Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, and 2014's I, Frankenstein with Aaron Eckhart and Bill Nighy. In related Nosferatu news, HBO Max is also carrying 2000's Dracula 2000 with Christopher Plummer and Gerard Butler, as well as Dracula II and Dracula III (2003, 2005) with Rutger Hauer and Roy Scheider.
I like a good monster movie as much as the next ROM, but Hollywood really needs to work on coming up with some original ideas.
