Aaron Taylor-Johnson Is Heading To Another A+ Horror Movie After 28 Years Later Sequel, And I Can Already Hear The Kraven Comparisons

by

In more relaxed terminology, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been making a big name for himself lately. There’s talk about him becoming the next James Bond, following his impressive performances in the critically praised horror films “28 Days Later” and “Nosferatu”. However, it seems he’s about to take on another high-profile horror project, which could unintentionally echo one of his past mistakes.

Based on Variety’s report, Aaron Taylor-Johnson will once again collaborate with Robert Eggers, the director of “Nosferatu”, for their upcoming project titled “Werwulf”. This new film is set in 13th-century England and promises a werewolf tale using dialogue that reflects the era’s authenticity. It’s rumored that Lily-Rose Depp, who also starred in “Nosferatu”, may also be part of this project. It appears that Eggers, much like other directors, enjoys working with specific actors and vice versa.

Kraven The Werewolf?

As a cinephile, I can’t help but express my anticipation for Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s upcoming role. While details are scarce, whispers suggest he might be stepping into the role of a werewolf, a possibility that aligns with the current rumors. However, the thought of Taylor-Johnson embodying a werewolf character stirs memories of his less successful foray into the world of comic books with ‘Kraven the Hunter’. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this new project will transcend the limitations of that previous endeavor and deliver something more akin to the timeless horror of ‘Nosferatu’.

Kraven the Hunter was an unusual blend of beast and man, not unlike a werewolf in his own unique way. However, it’s important to note that the film adaptation of this character, known for its lead actor donning fur-trimmed costumes and displaying an unusual amount of flair, was generally panned by critics and audiences alike. Unfortunately, this movie also marked Sony’s unsuccessful attempt at establishing a cinematic universe centered around characters associated with Spider-Man.

It’s likely that social media will soon be filled with memes about this news, given that Kraven the Hunter isn’t exactly a household name anymore. Despite its lack of success in theaters, the movie gained some popularity when it became available for streaming on Netflix. Many people seemed curious to see if the film lived up to the negative reviews, and indeed, it did not disappoint – it was as bad as they said.

It’s clear as day that Kraven the Hunter bears no resemblance to a Robert Eggers film. Each of his movies is shrouded in a distinct ambiance, making it hard to believe they all stem from a single creative mind. The dialogue, if it truly adheres to 13th-century speech, will undoubtedly set Werwulf apart in the realm of contemporary horror productions. Here’s hoping Taylor-Johnson can inject more emotion into these lines compared to those spoken by Kraven.

As a fervent supporter, I can confidently say that the upcoming film titled Werwulf, under the masterful direction it boasts, promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. This potential cinematic gem could very well catapult Aaron Taylor-Johnson into uncharted realms of stardom. With its release slated for Christmas Day in 2026, it’s quite possible that we may still be waiting for the next James Bond by then.
