Both Taylor-Johnson and Depp starred in Eggers’ most recent pic Nosferatu, which became the directors biggest hit to date. Taylor-Johnson was most recently seen in 28 Years Later.

In “Nosferatu,” Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a wealthy shipbuilder who does not heed Thomas and Ellen Hutter’s warnings that their German town has fallen under the curse of the vampire Count Orlok until it is too late.
