News and updates for all Robert Eggers films. Upcoming: Werwulf
Joined May 2024
- Robert Eggers has confirmed that his upcoming film ‘Werwulf’ is by far the darkest thing he’s ever written.
- For Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, a special filter was developed to eliminate red and yellow tones by cutting out specific wavelengths of light. This technique was designed to replicate how the human eye perceives color under moonlight. #Nosferatu
- The Transylvanian-set scenes in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu were exclusively lit by candlelight. Cinematographer Jarin Blaschke carefully arranged hundreds of candles, adjusting the light by lighting or extinguishing them as needed. #Nosferatu
- Robert Eggers on the dialogue in his upcoming film Werwulf: “I don’t know who leaked what, but it’s been said — and taken as official — that the movie is in Old English. But obviously, because of the 13th-century setting, it’s Middle English. I just want to be clear on that.”
- Robert Eggers has confirmed he used real wolves in Nosferatu. Nosferatu is now playing in theatres. #Nosfera
- Robert Eggers about Nosferatu: “Vampires should be terrifying, but we haven't seen them that way in decades. Reviving the original, authentic fear they once inspired in people who truly believed in them is commendable and cool.” #Nosferatu
- Willem Dafoe’s character in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is both based on Van Helsing from Dracula and the producer of the original Nosferatu, Albin Grau, who was deeply into the occult. Dafoe blends occult knowledge with a unique take on the vampire hunter. #Nosferatu
- Several scenes in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu were lit exclusively by candlelight, and it looks amazing!
- Robert Eggers about Nosferatu: “It's a scary film. It's a horror movie. It's a Gothic horror movie. And I do think that there hasn't been an old-school Gothic movie that's actually scary in a while. And I think that the majority of audiences will find this one to be the case.”
