Robert Eggers to Direct Werewolf Film ‘Werwulf’ After ‘Nosferatu’ Success
As a cinephile penning down my thoughts, I’m thrilled to share that Robert Eggers, the mastermind behind ‘Nosferatu’, is gearing up for another chilling tale titled ‘Werwulf’. Co-written with Sjón, who was also a part of the team for ‘The Northman’, this original film promises to transport us back to 13th-century England.
While specifics about the plot remain cloaked in secrecy, reliable sources suggest that the dialogue will be authentically period-specific, with translations and annotations for those less familiar with Old English. The distributor of ‘Nosferatu’, Focus Features, is joining forces once more with Eggers, aiming to recreate the box office magic that transformed ‘Nosferatu’ into a surprise hit.
Unlike its predecessors like ‘Nosferatu’ and ‘Wolf Man’, ‘Werwulf’ doesn’t seem to be rooted in a classic film or iconic property, making it an exciting venture into uncharted territory. It’s set to grace our screens on Christmas Day 2026, so mark your calendars for this intriguing tale of mystery and horror!
