Robert Eggers Reuniting with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp For Gothic Horror WERWULF — GeekTyrant
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star, with Lily-Rose Depp currently in talks to join the film. Eggers will direct and co-write the script alongside frequent collaborator Sjón, who co-wrote Th
As for Werwulf , the term originates from Old English and Germanic folklore, referring to a human who can transform into a wolf or a wolf-like creature.
Sources say the story is set in 13th century England. The script also features dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated in Old English. e Northman .
With Eggers' reputation for authenticity and his ability to blend myth, history, and psychological horror, expect a very different kind of werewolf film—something primal, unsettling, and atmospheric.
Focus Features is producing and financing, with Eggers and Sjón serving as producers. Chris and Eleanor Columbus of Maiden Voyage are on board as executive producers.
If Eggers can do for werewolves what he did for witches and Vikings, we might be looking at a new genre classic.
The film is set for a Christmas Day 2026 release in North America. What better way to celebrate the holidays than with a werewolf tale?

My Brain Literally Cannot Process These 15 Absolutely Baffling Photos
Hello again, and welcome to our roundup of the most confusing photos we found on Reddit this week. Check out last week's if you missed it — and let's get right into it! person who took this picture admits they have no clue what it is. Can you explain? Some people on Reddit say it is spray insulation on a ceiling, and some people think it is a carpeted ceiling. Others say it is something from an art gallery. What do you think? Related: kind of animal is this? A Turkish Angora cat that looks like a dog! you explain what is going on in this photo? It is two different people! The person taking the selfie has a black apron on, but under the mirror, there is a cutout area, and you can see the legs of the other person, who is wearing a brown apron on the other side. picture is not photoshopped. What happened? Exactly what you think, but don't want to believe! A tree fell and you were seeing the end of it. Related: this a river or something else? There is actually a lorry on the right side of the truck (a lorry is a large truck used to transport goods). The river is to the left of the tree. who approved this trash can box design? What looks phallic is actually just a cutout of where you put your hand in to pick up the box. Not the best spot, though! are these two people looking at? It is a lake that is reflecting the sky. Related: people are actually the same height. How can this be so? If you look at the right hip of the person on the right, you can see they are far behind the person on the left. The fannypack in the person on the left's lap conceals this but you can see the edge of their left hip. what about these two people? Does one have a stump for the lower half? No, no. The person in the back is sitting on the stump and the person in the light jeans is on their lap. is grabbing this woman's thigh? Thankfully, it is the lady herself. She is holding her hand in a weird way, with her pinky at the top (it is her left hand). this really eight people swimming in tubes??? It is actually planktonic tunicate — sea animals that typically attach themselves to docks, rocks, or the underside of boats. 12.10 points if you can guess what this is... Related: A flamingo floatie!!! this a celestial being in the sky? Unfortunately, it is just a cricket. these humingbirds get stuck in this feeder? Nope! The birds are in front of the glass! lastly, are these bridesmaids really nude?! Come on, you know they're just wearing strapless dresses! Do you have a really, really, REALLY confusing photo that you think we need to see?! Add it in the comments below, and you could be featured in our next weekly roundup of stumping people!

Matty Healy's Mom Has Nothing Against Taylor Swift, But Is ‘Glad' She's Not Her Mother-In-Law
Matty Healy's mom, the English actor and TV personality Denise Welch, barely tried to hold back when discussing her son's brief, tumultuous relationship with Taylor Swift on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. Expert orchestrator of mess that he is, Andy Cohen pointedly asked Welch about her reaction to Swift's last album, The Tortured Poets Department, which contained several songs about her time with Healy (and the media firestorm it caused). Welch began her response diplomatically, saying, 'Obviously, on pain of death, can I talk about that episode?' before proceeding to, more or less, talk about that episode: 'But not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost.'

But let's just say her tone left little doubt over what she actually meant, eliciting gasps from both Cohen and the audience. In extremely British fashion, Welch quickly couched her comment by insisting, 'Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just — it was tricky.' She went on to suggest that Healy and others were 'not allowed to say anything' about the relationship or break-up, but then Swift wrote 'a whole album about it.' Welch then said, 'Matty has taken it all in completely good grace. He's very happy with his amazing fiancée, Gabriella [who uses the stage name, Gabriette], who is gorgeous. So, we've moved on.' A rep for Swift did not immediately return a request for comment. Healy, for his part, has actually said a few things (although in often somewhat vague terms) about his time with Swift. And as for whether he had any songs about the relationship or break-up planned, Healy said on the Doomscroll podcast last year that he wasn't interested in mining those experiences for the next 1975 album. 'I think that that's an obvious thing to draw from. And I'm just not interested in it,' he said, adding: 'The idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old, I see people doing that as well, and it's not interesting.'
