Eggers did an AMA on Reddit. Nothing particularly insightful, but a few quick hits:
1. He'd still like to do Nosferatu (He's put a lot of years into it already), but as of now there hasn't been movement.
2. He would like to do another New England horror film to complete his self-described "New England Horror Trilogy."
3. His favorite horror movies:
