Multiple outlets report that Focus Features has released the first official trailer for Robert Eggers’ new gothic horror film “Werwulf.” The movie is set in 13th-century England and follows events in a foggy countryside as local folklore becomes a terrifying, supernatural reality for nearby villagers. The trailer emphasizes a werewolf creature that arrives without relying on a traditional full moon, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson starring as the central figure and being transformed into the creature. The cast also includes Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, along with Ralph Ineson, according to some reports. Several sources describe the project as continuing Eggers’ approach of historically grounded horror, with the film presented using old Middle English dialogue. One synopsis-related description in the coverage cites a logline in which a mysterious creature stalks the region and turns folklore into horror. Outlets also note a theatrical release date of Dec. 25, with the film opening in theaters on Christmas Day in some coverage. While an official synopsis is not uniformly provided across all sources, the shared promotional tagline references devotion, damnation, and the devil within.

1 hour ago"My soul is cursed. My kin are cursed. My world is cursed." Focus Features has unveiled the first full trailer for Robert Eggers' next new horror movie titled Werwulf, an old English version of the classic Werewolf movie. Or maybe it's VVervvulf? Two years ago he re-imagined the Dracula tale in his movie Nosferatu, now he re-imagines the Lycanthrope horror story as this new movie Werwulf. Set during 13th-century England, a mysterious creature stalks a foggy countryside transforming local folklore into terrifying reality as villagers face an ancient supernatural threat. Eggers' "most visceral and haunting experience yet" is a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation and the devil within. Werwulf stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the cursed farmer, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, and Ralph Ineson, with Jack Morris, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Jan Bijvoet, and Ritchi Edwards. The dialogue is all in old Middle English and is Eggers' "darkest script he has ever written." With music by Robin Carolan, and cinematography by Eggers' regular Jarin Blaschke (The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosferatu). This is a very creepy, intensely stylized, vicious trailer with grainy shots galore. Not sure if this will work as well as his other movies, but definitely looks powerfully immersive.
