Lily-Rose Depp is at present starring in a remake of a horror basic that may creep out lots of people however the film that creeped her out as a child is just not precisely horrifying.
The 1922 silent movie Nosferatu, impressed by the vampire mannequin that fueled Bram Stroker’s most treasured story, Dracula, has an up to date model that was launched on Christmas Day 2024, starring Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Invoice Skarsgård.
Nosferatu — each the character and the unique movie — is the epitome of creepiness, designed to scare the psychological wits out of any risk-taking viewer who dares to observe the bloody movie. Even for individuals who haven’t seen the film, the unforgettable picture of the face of Nosferatu is straight away recognizable. Now, the brand new model is charming audiences into the brand new yr.
Receiving a formidable 85% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes primarily based on 256 critic’s evaluations, Nosferatu has surpassed $50 million on the field workplace in its first week, already making it director Robert Eggers‘ highest grossing movie up to now.
On the heels of the movie’s rising success, Harpar’s Bazaar sat down with Lily-Rose Depp for a current interview. She clearly takes after her father Johnny Depp in a single particular sense in relation to film roles, as she defined, “I’m within the darker underbelly of issues. As an actor, you hope that your position shall be as meaty as may be, so you have got as a lot to dive into as doable.”
She additionally revealed that when she was simply three years outdated she was allowed to observe a selected film starring her father which ended up disturbing her a lot that she refused to ever watch it once more. “I keep in mind being petrified by that, which is bizarre, as a result of I don’t have many reminiscences from once I was that younger. It’s a troublesome childhood reminiscence.”
One would possibly imagine she’s speaking about her father’s first position in A Nightmare on Elm Avenue however such is just not the case. The movie in query is, imagine it or not, Edward Scissorhands. Contemplating she was three years outdated, one can perceive that she would possibly actually imagine that her father had scissors for fingers however that’s not what truly affected her.
Depp defined, “I used to be traumatized by it. Not as a result of I believed he was scary however as a result of everybody was being so imply to him and I obtained actually upset.”
Lily-Rose refusing to observe the movie once more as a result of her father’s character was being handled so poorly by everybody else may be an ideal father-daughter story.
She additionally hated the ending as a result of lots of the characters finally find yourself not being supportive of Scissor-fingers.
She carries a little bit little bit of the feelings she had for Edward and considerably applies it to Nosferatu regardless of the character’s being completely totally different. “Edward’s the great man,” she acknowledged, “and Nosferatu’s sort of the dangerous man, however there’s part of me that feels a little bit little bit of empathy for Nosferatu. I imply, am I sick for feeling that method?”
As Depp can now have a good time her position within the remake of Nosferatu, it’s extremely unlikely that she’s going to ever star in a remake of Edward Scissorhands, except it’s an Eddie-gets-revenge sequel and, with scissors for fingers, it might be a clean-cut triumph.
