Horror Robert Eggers to direct 13th Century Werewolf Thriller ‘Werwulf’

[Sawyer]

Leigh Whannell right now

The marketing roll-out when it came to Wolfman was so weird it kind of makes me wonder if both sides have come to sour on eachother.

They kinda dumped it on purpose after the Ryan Gosling Wolf Man fell threw and tried to salvage it with Leigh Whannell and made it as cheap as possible.

Oh nice.

I watched Nosferatu yesterday and was wondering what his next project would be and werewolf came to mind.

Cool.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Robert Eggers? Another period piece? Werewolf?

Curly?

Now we all wait to see who Willem Dafoe will play.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Inject this into my veins immediately. Like right now! I need this more than I can put into words. Nosferatu is the best Dracula film ever, imo and we are about to have the best werewolf film ever. Eggers is single handedly crafting his own monsters universe!

 

[Boom]

He's tackled witches, vampires and now werewolves.

Just need a ghost movie to complete the set.

Robert Eggers's Beowulf would rule.

 

[Boom]

Yaaaas.

I need him to tackle the dragon myth at some point. 110%.

 

[Arachnerd]

Eggers is in his Universal Monsters era and I love it. Nosferatu was fantastic and I welcome more period horror.

 

[Lily Adler]

I trust Eggers to give the Werewolf mythos a new spin.

Robert Eggers' A Christmas Carol. Nosferatu took place during the winter, anyway!

 

[Gee]

He's tackled witches, vampires and now werewolves.

You mean vvitches, vampyrs and werwulfs.

Will the werwulf hang dong?

And he was never heard from again.

He went off into the woods to look for werwulf wee wee.

 

[AndyTrevino]

While I don't want him to end up pigeonholed into just doing monster movies for Focus Features, this is very very exciting. I'm SUPER curious about what kind of ancient werewolf folklore he'd pull from.

I wouldn't say no to a proper Mummy flick from him either tbh.

Already very intrigued about the werewolfs design.

 

[Boom]

Already very intrigued about the werewolfs design.

Same. From what I've been reading, medieval werewolves were essentially just larger wolves. But in some cases, they didn't have tails and/or had human eyes.

 

[Mjolnir Reborn]

This sounds very interesting. The medieval setting will feel very fresh for a horror film and while I'm not as attached to werewolves in general as I am to vampires (proper ones) I'm very intrigued to see what it will be like here. I haven't been given any reason to not have very high expectations.

 

[Boom]

If this is set during the 13th century, wouldn't it be Middle English and not Old English?

So, Eggers is going to bring omegaverse mainstream????
