Sources tell Nexus Point News that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp are set to reunite with filmmaker Robert Eggers on his next film, Werwulf.<\/p>\n
Werwulf\u00a0is described as a werewolf horror film set in 13th century England and is set to feature Old English dialogue. The film was first announced in January 2025, following the release of Eggers\u2019 last film, Nosferatu. Eggers had co-written the film with frequent collaborator, Sj\u00f3n (The Northman) and will be producing alongside Sj\u00f3n. Focus Features is set to distribute the film. Sources tell Nexus Point News that Taylor-Johnson is set to play the titular werewolf, with Depp set to portray his wife. The script reportedly features elements of witchcraft and is described as one of Eggers\u2019 goriest projects to date. Production is expected to begin this September.<\/p>\n
Eggers made his feature film debut with A24\u2019s The Witch, starring Anya Taylor-Joy. He later went on to direct, write, and produce The Lighthouse\u00a0for A24 and\u00a0The Northman\u00a0and Nosferatu\u00a0for Focus Features. Eggers is currently developing a sequel to Labyrinth\u00a0with Sj\u00f3n and an adaptation of A Christmas Carol\u00a0which is eyeing Willem Dafoe as Ebenezer Scrooge.<\/p>\n
