After dealing with vampires NosferatuFilmmaker Robert Eggers is taking on another take on the horror creature genre in his own unique style.

Eggers co-authored Wolfowa werewolf horror project, and he will direct his next film.

Focus Features, the arthouse film division of Universal Pictures, distributes and finances Nosferature-collaborating with filmmakers Wolfow. The company has confirmed that the thriller will be released in North America on Christmas 2026. All parties hope to receive more holiday greetings because Nosferatu was also released on Christmas Day and went on to become an incredible hit.

Eggers wrote Wolfow An exciting Viking saga co-written with Sjón northerners with the filmmakers. Although details are sparse, sources say the story takes place in 13th-century England. The script also features dialogue that is true to the period, with translations and annotations for those unfamiliar with Old English.

Initially, Eggers planned to shoot the feature film in black and white, but that is no longer the case.

Suffice it to say, given the setting and dialect, Eggers promises to once again delve into a period of mud, pageantry and violence consistent with his work, which has earned him a devoted cinematic following.

Both Eggers and Sjón will produce with Focus Features. Chris and Eleanor Columbus, who worked with Eggers Nosferatuwill executive produce.

Focus, run by Peter Kujawski, has distributed all of Eggers' films and has collaborated with Eggers, including Northman and his early films, witch and lighthouse. Focus handles international distribution through Universal International lighthouse.

Nosferatu is Eggers' remake of the 1922 Dracula-like thriller of the same name. Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult star as a couple besieged by Count Orlok, played by Bill Skarsgård. The film also stars Willem Dafoe (who has appeared in all but one of Eggers' films) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and is set in a German port in the 1830s.

Opening on Christmas Day, the film hit home with atmosphere, style, costumes and polite dialogue, and took in $40 million in its five-day opening, doubling industry expectations. The film grossed more than $156 million worldwide, making it Eggers' highest-grossing film to date. The film will be available on digital platforms and stores on February 18.
