Hey everyone! I wanted to share this script-to-screen clip from Nosferatu (2024) by Robert Eggers—an incredibly rich screenplay that at times reads like literature 👉 https://youtu.be/Qg9-IYDlOts [it's the opening scene]

After a deep dive into the script (Nosferatu Screenplay), you can even spot some *deleted* scenes that didn’t make the final cut! One striking example is on page 33, where a haunting shot of Orlok’s shadow looming over Ellen—used in the film’s promo—was originally scripted:

INT. HARDING HOUSE. GUEST ROOM – NIGHT

ELLEN stands by the window. She watches the ships pass in the harbour. Her white skin is even whiter in the moonlight.

Slowly, a SHADOW drifts toward her, reaching… IT IS THE SHADOW OF ORLOK’S HAND… SHE HEARS THE FAMILIAR WHISPER OF HIS LANGUAGE… THE CLAW GRASPS HER TIGHT… ELLEN feels the shadow overwhelm her.

She is seized with terror. Her breath quickens… she is under his spell…

Moments like this highlight Eggers' masterful visual storytelling. What do you think of the changes from script to screen? 🦇💀
