First Photo: Robert Eggers’ “Werwulf”

The first official photo has been released by Focus Features from “Nosferatu” and “The Lighthouse” director Robert Eggers’ newest film “Werwulf”.

The photo shows Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s lead character ‘Man’ in the period horror drama.

The story unfolds in 13th-century England and reportedly features dialogue that was true to the time period. It will also have translations and annotations as it uses Old English for the dialogue.

The film was originally planned to be shot in black and white, but that is no longer the case. Eggers has co-written the film with Sjón and both will produce alongside Tim Bevan, Garett Bird, Eggers and Eric Fellner.

“Nosferatu” became the director’s highest-grossing film to date, making $156.3 million off a $50 million budget. The new film is tipped to be the “darkest thing” he’s ever written.

Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach co-stsr in “Werwulf” which is expected to arrive in cinemas on December 25th
