Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe Star in 'Werwulf' Official Trailer
The gothic horror film reunites Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp with Robert Eggers after Nosferatu.
- Universal released the first trailer for Werewulf, director Robert Eggers' latest horror feature debuting Christmas Day. The footage teases Aaron Taylor-Johnson's transformation into a mysterious creature stalking 13th-century England.
- Continuing his run of historically rooted horror, Eggers reunites with frequent collaborators Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe. The project follows his previous Focus Features title Nosferatu, which earned over $181 million worldwide.
- Shot in Eggers' trademark grainy 4:3 aspect ratio, the trailer depicts local folklore becoming a terrifying reality for villagers. The logline describes a "harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within" set in 13th-century England.
- Ralph Ineson, Jack Morris, Jan Bijvoet, Ritchi Edwards, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach round out the cast. Maiden Voyage's Chris and Eleanor Columbus executive produced alongside Eggers and Focus Features.
- Nosferatu previously garnered five BAFTA nominations and four Oscar nods, including Best Cinematography. Werewulf aims to build on that critical success with Eggers' signature blend of historical horror.
