Just saw this image in a video interview with Bill Skaarsgard. I don't think I'd seen it anywhere else before. Still no real look at Count Orlock, but here you can see that he will have the same crazy fingernails as the Max Schreck original. Wait, Hoult is essentially playing Jonathan Harker after literally playing Renfield just last year? Well thats not distracting. Good thing is that nobody has seen the Renfield-movie.

My bet is they won't make Orlock the all out bad guy. Hollywood has been sympathetic to vampires-especially Dracula types (the one that migrates to another land) since Lugosi. The exceptions are usually special cases like when Dracula faced Abbott and Costello, or Blacula, or Blade, or the kids in the Monster Squad. Otherwise Dracula is a romantic figure which was not the case at all with the Murnau film. Barlow was an exception too but he was based on Orlock. Even Janos Skorzeny has a little sympathy generated when he is being killed. The 1979 film also makes him more sympathetic than the Schreck version.
Despite the original being called a version of Dracula, notice the men in the story accomplish nothing. In the book they kill Dracula, not so in the Murnau film.

And that's all I need to see... Boo on the animal abuse. But it looks very creepy. I love the Hammer Dracula movies as well. And the Universal ones. The Dan Curtis production is pretty good as well.

Well, I can guarantee you the animal abuse is simulated, so I don't think you have much to worry about there. The tone and imagery is terrific, as you'd expect. The only issue I really have is that of the few glimpses we get of what I'd assume are images of Bill Skaarsgard as Count Orlock, he appears to have long hair. But you never see him clearly, and I could be wrong... also maybe he does have long hair and it will look great, I don't know. But it's hard to separate the image of the hallmarks of the Max Schreck makeup from the name Nosferatu... a look that obviously has endured and informed many other depictions of vampires in the last 102 years. In any event, it looks good. Even Lilly Rose Depp looks like she's giving a committed performance, and I don't know that anyone was expecting that.

From the images it’s hard to truly see, but it looked like strands. Still looks very promising. Especially the imagery.

^^^New trailer
Still withholding the image of Bill Skaarsgard as Count Orlock in full, which is probably a good move. A glimpse at the eyes and a pretty creative twist on the famous and iconic silhouette/shadow image from the orignal at the end of this trailer. And that looks cool.
Looks highly atmospheric and intense. Can't be sure, but also looks like more CGI for some of the landscapes and such than I would have thought Eggers might go for, but everything looks pretty good so far.
