Eggers' 'Werwulf' Explores 13th-Century Werewolf Horror

Renowned director Robert Eggers is set to continue his exploration of iconic horror creatures with his upcoming film 'Werwulf,' a 13th-century werewolf tale. The film, co-written with Sjón, who collaborated with Eggers on 'The Northman,' will be produced by Focus Features and is scheduled for a Christmas Day 2026 release. It's set in medieval England and will include dialogue true to the Old English of that period, complete with translations for modern audiences. Initially conceived as a black-and-white film, it will now be in color, maintaining Eggers' signature historical authenticity and atmospheric storytelling. This project follows the success of Eggers' 'Nosferatu,' which became his highest-grossing film, earning $156 million globally. Fans can expect another immersive experience as Eggers continues to bring mythical creatures to life with his unique cinematic style.
