Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp is set to take over screens in India with her new film 'Nosferatu'. The Robert Eggers gothic horror film, inspired by the classic vampire legend, sees the beauty take on the role of Ellen Hutter alongside Nicholas Hoult's Tomas Hutter.
Speaking about her experience working on this critically acclaimed film, Lily-Rose revealed in a statement, “I’ve always loved haunted gothic tales like this. I could see the whole thing playing out as I was reading it. I was holding my breath the entire time."
She further explained the unique allure of the film’s script, saying, "There’s something about this movie that feels very real, visceral, and human, which is fascinating because it delves into demons, ghosts, and another realm. That’s what I think is the scariest part about the movie: just how real the nightmares are."
