Robert Eggers Eyeing Reunion with Aaron-Taylor Johnson and Lily Rose-Depp on "Werwulf"
Yara Sameh Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who starred in director Robert Eggers' stylish vampire hit 'Nosferatu," is set to re-team with the filmmaker for his next film, 'Werwulf.' Moreover, Lily-Rose Depp, who led the 2024 gothic horror film, is also in talks to join the project. Eggers will direct the werewolf horror feature from a script he co-wrote with Sjón (the duo previously collaborated on 2022's 'The Northman' script). "Werwulf" is slated for a Christmas Day 2026 release in North America. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title are producing alongside Eggers and Sjón, while Maiden Voyage's Chris and Eleanor Columbus are serving as executive producers. Focus Features most recently financed and released Eggers' critically acclaimed gothic horror film 'Nosferatu.' Eggers and Focus have partnered on all his films to date, also including 'The Northman,' 'The Witch' and 'The Lighthouse, for which Focus handled international distribution through Universal International. A reimagining of F. W. Murnau's 1922 silent German Expressionist film, 'Nosferatu' stars Depp as a young woman who becomes the object of desire for the terrifying vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). Taylor-Johnson appears as Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic. Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe also star. The film was a success at the box office, sucking up a huge $40 million Christmas debut, nearly double its pre-release expectations. It ultimately grossed over $181 million worldwide. Taylor-Johnson most recently appeared in '28 Years Later.' Previous credits include 'Kraven the Hunter,' 'The Fall Guy,' 'Bullet Train,' 'Tenet,' 'Nocturnal Animals' and 'Godzilla.' Depp's additional credits include 'Wolf,' 'Silent Night,' 'Voyagers,' 'The Dancer,' 'The King,' and HBO's 'The Idol.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads Robert Eggers' 'Werwulf' as Lily-Rose Depp eyes possible reunion in cast
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star in Werwulf, the upcoming werewolf horror film from director Robert Eggers. The project marks a reunion for the actor and director following their collaboration on the gothic vampire feature Nosferatu. Lily-Rose Depp, who also starred in Nosferatu, is currently in discussions to join the cast of Werwulf. The film is scheduled for a Christmas Day 2026 release in North America. Eggers co-wrote the script with longtime collaborator Sjón, following their previous work on The Northman. Werwulf will continue Eggers' exploration of folklore and myth through a stylised horror lens. The project is being produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title, alongside Eggers and Sjón. Chris and Eleanor Columbus of Maiden Voyage are on board as executive producers. Eggers has built a consistent partnership with Focus Features, which backed his earlier titles including The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu. The latter, a reimagining of the 1922 silent film, featured Depp as a young woman pursued by vampire Count Orlok, portrayed by Bill Skarsgård. Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a sceptic of the vampire myth. The film earned $40 million in its opening weekend and grossed over $181 million worldwide. Taylor-Johnson recently appeared in 28 Years Later, with prior roles in Kraven the Hunter, Bullet Train, Tenet, and Godzilla. Depp's previous credits include The Idol, Wolf, Silent Night, and Voyagers.
