No doubt hoping that lighting will strike twice, Robert Eggers will follow up his Nosferatu with another monster movie for Focus Features, this time called Werwulf (apparently the ancient spelling of werewolf), which he will co-write and direct.


After tackling vampires with Nosferatu, filmmaker Robert Eggers is taking on another horror creature genre in his own inimitable style.
Eggers has co-written Werwulf, a werewolf horror project that he will direct as his next feature.
Focus Features, Universal’s art house division which released and financed Nosferatu, is back in business with the filmmaker for Werwulf. The company has also dated the thriller for a North America release on Christmas Day, 2026. The parties are hoping for more holiday greetings as Nosferatu was also released on Christmas Day and went on to become an improbable hit.
