Director Robert Eggers continues to impress with an ever-growing list of films, and he’s now revealed his upcoming production – a chilling werewolf tale!
According to an exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter, filmmaker Robert Eggers, known for directing Nosferatu, has already penned a new script and plans to collaborate once more with Focus Features to bring his upcoming project to life on the big screen.
They aim to release the film to theaters by Christmas of 2026.
What We Know So Far
In this upcoming film, we delve into a werewolf tale that takes place during the 13th century in England. To authentically portray the era, the dialogue will be in Middle English and Old English. Fret not if you’re unsure about these old dialects; THR assures us there will be translations and explanatory notes provided for your convenience.
If accurate, it provides a reason for the movie’s title spelling: “Werwulf.” Indeed, the old English language has undergone significant changes compared to its contemporary form.
It’s still unclear about many aspects, but THR has verified that Eggers has chosen to color-film Werwulf instead of black and white. Given his past projects with historical backdrops, it seems likely that this film will be a hard-hitting, gritty production.
Speaking as a cinephile, the latest masterpiece I’ve been captivated by is a modern take on the classic 1922 silent film, “Nosferatu.” Despite being a remake, this movie has shown me that with passion and skillful hands, remakes can indeed be exceptional.
The actors Nicholas Hoult, Bill Skarsgård, and Lily Rose-Depp breathed life into their characters in a chilling manner. The movie Nosferatu, which has earned several Critics Awards and been nominated for Oscars, truly deserves all of its accolades. It’s also Eggers’ most financially successful film to date, earning $166.4 million globally on a budget of $50 million.
Robert Eggers Shares his Thoughts
It’s not surprising at all that Eggers prefers to avoid creating movies set in modern times, as his exceptional talent lies in the genre he currently works in. According to an article on The Hollywood Reporter, Robert Eggers himself has declared that he harbors no aspirations or intentions to produce a film utilizing contemporary technology and themes.
When inquired about the reason, he replied: “The thought of capturing an image of a car leaves me feeling unwell. As for photographing a mobile phone, it’s simply disheartening. In today’s world, to craft a modern tale, you must photograph a mobile phone—that’s just reality—so I’m afraid not.
Essentially, Eggers is all about following his unique path, which is quite uncommon in today’s Hollywood scene. It’s refreshing to observe a director standing firm on his creative ideas.
Eggers is set to pen and helm a follow-up to the 1986 film “Labyrinth,” according to Deadline. If accurate, he’s already secured the rights, but specific details remain unclear at this time. Finding an actor who can emulate David Bowie’s legendary Goblin King performance could prove challenging.
Despite any considerations, Robert Eggers has demonstrated his expertise in the horror genre, leaving us intrigued about his future projects. It would certainly be captivating if Universal Studios were to collaborate with him, potentially breathing new life into their classic monsters as part of the Dark Universe.
