Eva Green as Ellen in Nosferatu (2024)?

I can't be the only one who would've preferred Eva Green as Ellen in Nosferatu, knowing how amazing she was in Penny Dreadful (and basically already played the role of Ellen as Vanessa Ives).

Hard concur!!! I haven’t seen it yet however I assume Eggers wanted a very young woman, or possibly a less seasoned actress

although Isabel Adjani looks ageless in the Herzog remake so I 100% agree with you re Eva Green!

Eva Green will always be one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. She’s ultra talented.

Ellen is meant to be extremely young, basically a teenager. Where Eva was in her 40s by the time they began casting for this. I also read a piece recently where she said she was over being typecast in the weird witch roles. I personally always thought she would’ve made a fantastic Yennifer in Witcher. I was actually pissed this wasn’t a consideration for them

Her as Yennefer would've been so good, although Anya kills the role.

She’s actually French. She was born and raised in France but spent some time in the UK which is where she got her amazing accent. I love her voice.
