Little is known about Werwulf besides its setting, which will reportedly be in 13th-century England. The period piece will also feature dialogue with “translations and annotations for those uninitiated in Old English.” Old English. Originally planned to be shot in black and white, THR reports that is no longer the case.
Eggers is coming off the resounding success of Nosferatu. Serving as a remake of the 1922 German silent film, Nosferatu follows Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult), a real estate agent tasked with traveling to Transylvania to sell a house to Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). In reality, Orlok is Nosferatu, a demonic vampire infatuated with Hutter’s wife, Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp), and will wreak havoc until she submits to him.
Released on December 25, 2024, Nosferatu earned $21.6 million for the three-day opening weekend and $40.8 million for the five-day window. Both figures are Eggers’ highest-grossing movies. Nosferatu has made over $156.3 million worldwide to date.
Nosferatu is now available for purchase on digital platforms.
Werwulf will be Eggers’ fifth feature film, behind 2024’s Nosferatu, 2022’s The Northman, 2019’s The Lighthouse, and 2015’s The Witch. Eggers has worked with Focus Features on all five.
