Following the success of Nosferatu, director Robert Eggers is popping his focus to a different horror icon: werewolves. Eggers will helm Werwulf, a Thirteenth-century werewolf thriller co-written with Sjón, his collaborator on The Northman. Focus Options, the studio behind Nosferatu, is as soon as once more partnering with the filmmaker for the mission, which is slated for a North American launch on Christmas Day, 2026.

Set in medieval England, the script reportedly incorporates dialogue true to the Outdated English of the time interval, full with translations and annotations to immerse audiences in its gritty setting. Whereas Eggers initially envisioned the movie in black and white, the manufacturing has since shifted to paint, although it stays steeped within the filmmaker’s trademark interval drama aesthetics.

Eggers and Sjón will produce the movie, with Focus Options dealing with distribution alongside Chris and Eleanor Columbus as government producers. The studio, recognized for its assist of Eggers’ distinctive tasks like The Lighthouse and The Witch, is banking on Werwulf to copy the field workplace magic of Nosferatu, which earned $156 million globally and have become Eggers’ highest-grossing movie up to now.
