A fortune’s laid out to make classic film (9)

I believe the answer is:

nosferatu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'classic film' is the definition.
'Nosferatu' can be an answer for 'film' (1922 vampire film). I'm not certain of the 'classic' bit.

'a fortune's laid out' is the wordplay.
'laid out' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'fortunes'='afortunes'
'afortunes' with letters rearranged gives 'NOSFERATU'.

'to make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nosferatu that I've seen before include "Old film" , "F.W. Murnau's early Dracula film" , "1922 Dracula film" , "horror film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
