“The audacious filmmaking of Robert Eggers is always a gift for fans, and we can promise that his Nosferatu is planning quite the Christmas feast,” Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said in a statement (via Variety).
It comes after a terrifying first look at Nosferatu emerged last week, showing Depp in character as a silhouette of the vampire's hand covers her.
"Yeah, it's a scary film. It's a Gothic horror movie," Eggers recently explained to Empire.
"I do think that there hasn't been an old-school Gothic movie that's actually scary in a while. And I think that the majority of audiences will find this one to be the case."

Elaborating on the central role of Depp's character, the director added: "It's even more Ellen's story than previous versions. And Lily-Rose is absolutely phenomenal."
Nosferatu's previous versions were released in 1922 and 1979, directed by FW Murnau and Werner Herzog, respectively.
As well as Skarsgård, Depp and Hoult, the new version is set to star Emma Corrin, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Willem Dafoe.
Nosferatu will be released in US cinemas on December 25, 2024. A UK release date is yet to be confirmed.
