Nosferatu director Robert Eggers has no intention of making a movie set in modern times.

“And the idea of photographing a cell phone is just death.

And to make a contemporary story you have to photograph a cell phone.

It’s just how life is.

So, no.”

But how far into modern times would Eggers venture?

“I might go potentially to 1950,” he added.

“But before World War 2 is more inviting for my imagination.”

It’s said to use dialogue accurate to the time period.
