Robert Eggers announced his forthcoming horror film Werwulf at a promotional event, describing it as his darkest work yet. The story follows a 13th‑century farmer, played by Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, who becomes a werewolf, while Lily‑Rose Depp portrays his wife. The film features a trio of hunters, including Willem Dafoe, and is set in medieval England. Eggers emphasized the period setting, Middle English dialogue, and extensive research, aiming for a silent‑movie aesthetic that relies on emotion rather than words.
