Directed by E. Elias Merhige
Starring John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier and Eddie Izzard
A retelling of the making of F. W. Murnau’s classic Nosferatu, E. Elias Merhige’s Shadow Of The Vampire is a wonderfully-dreamed up tale of Nosferatu director F.W. Murnau as he attempts to create the best vampire tale of all time by casting an actual vampire in the lead. Produced by Nicolas Cage, Shadow is the hilarious tale of a headstrong director who attempts to wrangle a soulless star who won’t stop ‘biting the heads off’ his cast and crew.
