Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker of the remake Nosferatu, is partnering again with Aaron Taylor‑Johnson. The actor will star in Eggers’ gothic horror ‘Werwulf.’
Set in 13th‑century England with authentic Old English dialogue. Lily‑Rose Depp is in negotiations to play Taylor‑Johnson’s wife.
Although plot details are still under wraps, insiders say Werwulf will weave in witchcraft elements, leaning into Eggers’ signature folklore-driven horror, and promises to be his most graphically intense film yet. With a script co-written by Eggers and Icelandic poet Sjón (who also collaborated on The Northman), this will be a genuine plunge into Old English atmosphere and visceral horror.

Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title are producing alongside Eggers and Sjón, while Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus are serving as executive producers.
Production is slated to begin in September 2025, with a holiday-season North American release on 25 December 2026
