Yeah, yeah. Thank you for setting that up so beautifully, by the way. Because it's a very confusing time for the title Nosferatu, because there is another one right on our tail coming out Christmas, directed by the wonderful Robert Eggers and starring the brilliant Bill SkarsgΓ₯rd in the same role I'm playing.

Now, he might be younger, hotter, and more famous than me, but I think we can have both, can't we? Absolutely. We all want both.

We do. And I'm going to watch theirs with every bit of glee as I'm watching on my own. Ours, though, what makes ours a little bit different is it seemed foreseen the same movie as the silent film that made it a classic in the first place. So I got to get into not only Max Schreck's role, but I also was in his environment, digitally reproduced from the original film. That's so cool.

David Lee Fisher, our director, is a technical wizard who made this all magic happen. So it might be something as much as when I was, let's say, when Nosferatu was outside walking around with his coffin under one arm. That would be a complete 100% green screen set with marks on the floor to match exactly where I needed to turn, stop, walk up steps, whatever, right?

That we would match then with the laid in frame from the old movie. Then the least amount of green screen used might be Ellen's bedroom when I finally get into her and I'm finally reaching the pinnacle, the object of my desire. She's the dessert of all the meals I've had over. Over my vampire years.

Her bedroom scene was walls built, furniture in the room, and the window, though, was green behind it so that they could put in the original movie window behind that.

So there was a green screen element to every scene of the movie. Yeah. And so that does bring old and new together with a very ethereal kind of dreamlike. Yes. Right. But also ours. That's why we filmed ours in black and white so that we could match the old movie, but more seamlessly. And and also with dialogue and sound that fleshes out that silent film story.
