Robert Eggers is working on a 13th century werewolf horror movie. The 'Nosferatu' filmmaker - who has already tackled vampires with his recent blockbuster hit - is moving onto another horror creature as he continues to explore the genre.

Robert Eggers is reteaming with Focus Features for his next film 'Werwulf,' a werewolf horror feature that he co-wrote.

Nosferatu was Eggers’ remake of the 1922 Dracula-like thriller by the same name. It starred Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult as a couple besieged by Count Orlok, played by Bill Skarsgard. It also featured Willem Dafoe (who has appeared in all but one of Eggers’ films) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson and was set in a German port in the 1830s.

Eggers cowrote the script with his “The Northman” scribe Sjón. Like “Nosferatu,” “Werwulf” will be getting a holiday release; the film is set to premiere Christmas Day 2026.
