Robert Eggers Plans Werewolf Film Set in 13th Century

Following the success of his recent film Nosferatu, director Robert Eggers is set to helm a new werewolf horror film titled Werwulf, which will take place in 13th-century England. The script, co-written with Icelandic author Sjón, is said to incorporate Old English dialogues, reminiscent of Eggers' previous work. Scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2026, Werwulf will follow the cinematic trend of reviving classic horror myths. Additionally, Eggers is confirmed to direct a sequel to the 1986 cult classic Labyrinth, marking his first foray into sequels after focusing on original content. While details about the Labyrinth sequel remain scarce, it is confirmed to be a continuation rather than a remake. These projects highlight Eggers' growing prominence in the horror genre and his ability to merge historical authenticity with fantastical storytelling.
