After Nosferatu, Robert Eggers will do something remarkable in the upcoming Werwulf.
His cinematographer, Jarin Blaschke, teased that they are making a werewolf that has appeared before on the big screen.
"Yeah, we're doing it now," he said in an interview with Den of Geek. "I can't tell you a thing. But it's something that's not been done before that I'm aware of or not done in this way. So [we're] just going to test it and see if it works."
Werwulf's logline reads, "Set in 13th century, the film is about a man cursed to turn into a werewolf each night, forcing him to grapple with his monstrous transformation and the consequences it brings upon his village."
"Suffice to say that considering the setting and the dialect, Eggers is promising another deep dive into a muddy, costumed, and violent time period consistent with his oeuvre which has earned him a loyal film following," it added.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview, Robert opened up about his passion for period dramas.
"The idea of having to photograph a car makes me ill. And the idea of photographing a cellphone is just death. And to make a contemporary story you have to photograph a cellphone, it's just how life is, so no," the director told Rotten Tomatoes.
