Robert Eggers releases new trailers for medieval horror film Werwulf

Director Robert Eggers has released new trailers for his upcoming horror film, ‘Werwulf’, scheduled for a theatrical release on December 25, 2026. Set in 13th-century England, the film explores medieval folklore and the terror of a mysterious creature through a lens of historical dread.

The production features a cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe. The film utilizes 35mm film, a 1.37:1 aspect ratio, and dialogue based on Middle English to enhance historical authenticity. Eggers collaborated with Icelandic author Sjón on the screenplay.

To promote the film, Focus Features has launched an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that runs from September through November, tied to the lunar cycle. Additionally, Eggers has teased that his subsequent project will be a film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ following his work on this horror title.
