“Weapons” (2025) is a potent, precise breed of psychological terror that makes no apologies for itself. Between its creative storytelling structure and its truly shocking ending, it is a film that is intended to initiate conversations. Zach Creggar’s previous film, “Barbarian,” was a clever satire of toxic relationships within the horror genre, whereas “Weapons” is a subversion of suburban horror that carefully weaves its scares into a nuanced character study.

Creggar shows an outstanding clarity within his vision, as the tone of “Weapons” can switch between darkly hilarious, utterly terrifying, and completely bizarre on a moment’s notice without ever feeling inconsistent. Given the complexities that will surely make “Weapons” even more fascinating upon a second watch, it’s safe to say that Creggar has joined the likes of Jordan Peele, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, and Mike Flanagan as one of the true trailblazers of modern horror.

“Weapons” opens with...

Zach Cregger puts us under his spell in his terrifying and weird Barbarian follow-up. Here’s our Weapons review.

If there’s already one thing you can count on with a Zach Cregger movie, it’s that you’ll never know what you get. That was the case with Barbarian, the director’s 2022 debut and it’s certainly true with his sophomore feature, Weapons.

Sure, Weapons starts off as your general, run-of-the-mill horror mystery when 17 kids from the town of Maybrook get up at 2.17am and simply run off into the night. No one knows where they went, they simply disappeared.

And this is all you should know going into Weapons.

Much like Barbarian, some of the fun comes from not knowing where the film is going at any given moment. There’s no neat three act structure here and much in Weapons is unexpected. You don’t often get...

Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019) created history at the 92nd Academy Awards, becoming the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture, along with its other three wins- Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Film. It also became the first South Korean film to win the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival- the coveted Palme d’Or. If you have seen Parasite, you know there isn’t quite a film like the genre-defying, thrilling saga of two families, distinguished by class structures, coming together under the same roof. For those who haven’t seen it, still get prepared to be floored.

A succinct review would be the words of fellow Academy Award-winning director of films like Babel, Birdman, and The Revenant, Alejandro G. Inarritu, who has said how” […] Instead of preaching to us, pointing fingers or predictably, mass shooting oligarchs and corporate monarchs, Bong Joon Ho, sometimes using metaphors...

In “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” Marvel’s First Family faces off against the walking, talking, planet-eating Galactus for the first time — sort of. Though the cosmic devourer has appeared in a Marvel film before, Matt Shakman’s latest entry to the MCU marks the first time an actor has actually portrayed Galactus.

When the Fantastic Four meet Galactus, they are faced with a colossal man in purple garb with a tuning fork helmet. Despite the visual silliness of this character, his immense size and booming, theater-shaking voice immediately establish a threat unlike the Four have ever faced.

But who lent their voice to give Galactus such gravitas? Read on to meet the man behind the planet eater.

Who plays Galactus in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”

To play Galactus, Marvel Studios tapped Ralph Ineson, a Robert Eggers regular and rising horror icon known for “The Witch,” “The First Omen” and “Nosferatu.

Lily-Rose Depp and 070 Shake are still going strong!

The 26-year-old The Idol actress and the 28-year-old musician, whose real name is Danielle Balbuena, stepped out for a romantic dinner date on Wednesday evening (July 30) at E Baldi in Beverly Hills, Calif.

For their outing, Lily-Rose wore a black top and jeans while 070 Shake wore a blue sweater and striped pants.

As they waited to pick up their car from the valet, the couple was spotted hugging and kissing.

If you didn’t know, Lily-Rose went public with her relationship with 070 Shake back in May 2023, revealing that they had been together for four months at that point. In an interview from last year, Lily-Rose shared some rare insight into their relationship.

It was recently reported that Lily-Rose will be reuniting with Nosferatu co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson and director Robert Eggers on the upcoming film Werwulf! Find out more here.

Christian Bale took a sharp turn after finishing his time as Bruce Wayne. A year after closing that chapter, he stepped into the flashy, scheming world of American Hustle, a slick period drama built on cons and lies. The film, set in the late 1970s, follows a seasoned con man and his sharp partner, both forced to work under an unpredictable FBI agent who pulls them into the mess of New Jersey’s underworld. Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper share the screen with Bale, all tangled in a story of scams, style, and, of course, power.

American Hustle Streaming Date Revealed

According to Collider, American Hustle will be available to stream on Paramount+ starting August 1. It had previously been on Pluto TV but now arrives on a bigger platform with a 92% critics rating and over $250 million in global earnings.

Did Taylor Swift Film A New Music Video Amid Time Off? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Back in December 2024, Taylor Swift wrapped up her almost two-year-long Eras Tour. It might have been exhausting, but it quickly became one of the most successful musical tours of all time, raking in billions of dollars. The pop star then took a break to recharge before diving back into her work.

Over the last couple of months, Taylor has been seen vacationing and chilling with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The two wanted to soak in every moment of the break before they got back to their respective schedules. And it looks like it’s time for her to return to work since she was spotted filming for something new.

Netflix’s New Series Is Being Called a 10/10 Thriller(Photo Credit –Netflix)

Jurassic Park had Sam Neill running from dinosaurs. However, he is now back, but the monsters here wear human faces. Untamed, the new Netflix miniseries, dropped without much fuss and is already being called a 10/10 by viewers who can’t stop watching, according to Unilad. The show, released on July 17, did not take long for people to start raving about it, especially that opening scene, which feels like it grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go.

Untamed Netflix Series Opens With A Jaw-Dropping Scene

Untamed begins with two climbers scaling a cliff in Yosemite when something falls from above, and it is not a rock, but a body. A woman’s corpse plummets, snags the climbers’ rope, and hangs there, swinging in the air. That is how the show starts, yes, you read that right.

Where To Watch Robert Eggers’ Brutal Revenge Epic Going Viral On Ott?(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Following its theatrical release a few years ago, this brutal and intense revenge drama is now blowing up on streaming, too. With a 90% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a gripping story packed with raw emotion and stunning visuals, it’s the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll.

We are talking about the 2022 epic action drama The Northman, starring Alexander Skarsgård in the lead role. According to FlixPatrol, the film landed in the top 10 most popular movies streaming globally on Netflix on July 27, 2025, standing at the sixth place (at the time of writing). If you missed it in theaters or want to watch it again, here’s where you can stream it right now.

Directed by Robert Eggers, The Northman follows the story of...

The moment Ralph Ineson’s towering stature enters into frame and his God-like voice is heard, the moviegoing audience knows they’re in particularly good hands.

Thus, The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman understood full well the type of gravitas he’d be receiving when he offered Ineson the role of Galactus, the planet-devouring demigod and recurring foe of Marvel’s first family. In the first hour of what is now the definitive live-action adaptation of The Fantastic Four, Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) return home from an unsuccessful parley with the cosmic entity, and they are visibly shaken by the threat they just encountered, something Ineson’s performance conveyed with ease.

The Fantastic Four is not Ineson’s first foray into the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2014, he played a nameless Ravager...

Dracula is one of the most iconic characters in horror, having been adapted countless times on stage and screen. Robert Eggers recently reinvented the timeless tale in Nosferatu, and now another distinct approach to the vampire mythos is coming to the big screen. Based on Joe Hill’s short story of the same name, Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story is a sequel to Bram Stoker’s epistolary novel. Picking up decades later, it is a psychological horror story about Abraham Van Helsing and his family.

The film follows Max and Rudy Van Helsing, who have spent their lives under the strict and overprotective rule of their father, Abraham. Unaware of his dark past, they struggle to understand his paranoia and increasingly erratic behavior. But when they begin to uncover the violent truths behind their father’s history with Dracula, their world unravels, forcing them to confront the terrifying legacy they were never meant to inherit.

Director Sean Ellis has had an unusual career; if it seems like his fellow Brits, David Mackenzie and Kevin Macdonald have been genre-agnostic, Ellis has taken things a step farther. He remains best known for the deeply affecting drama Metro Manila, which is essentially a foreign-language film. But a few years ago, he tried his hand at horror. He directed the werewolf movie The Cursed, starring Kelly Reilly and Boyd Holbrook, and while the film didn't make much of a dent at the box office, it's climbing up the streaming ranks following its Netflix debut.

According to FlixPatrol, The Cursed was the sixth-most-popular film on Netflix in the United States on July 20, beating the likes of Brick, Penguins of Madagascar, Despicable Me 4, and The Old Guard 2. That's quite a diverse slate of titles for any film to outperform, let alone one that barely got a theatrical release despite being designed for one.

When we typically muse on who should be considered the "author" of a film, I don't think we ever come to the conclusion of "the studio." Sure, there are some pockets of vision within the history of movie studios -- the Warner Bros. gangster picture, the Universal horror movie, the Paramount "maverick 1970s film" -- but by and large, they provide the means to the end, the money and distribution deal for directors to make their mark on culture.

A24, however, is anything but typical. Founded in 2012 by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges, and named after an Italian motorway Katz was driving down, the independent movie studio has become one of the 21st century's most notable film tastemakers. It's a brand unto itself, a marker of a certain "type" of movie that indicates quality and intrigue. And even...

The Lighthousestar Willem Dafoe is reportedly eying a part in Robert Eggers' next feature - Werwulf.

Per Bloody Disgusting, Dafoe is reportedly in talks to star in Eggers' next period horror film, Werwulf, alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp, who have also been tapped for the project. The film is slated to take place in 13th century England and be written with Old English dialogue. Werwulf will be directed by Eggers, who will be co-writing and co-producing along with The Northman co-writer and frequent Björk collaborator, Sjón.

Announced back in January following the success of Eggers' Nosferatu, Werwulf has already been set for a release date of Christmas Day in 2026. Just days ago, it was confirmed that Taylor-Johnson and Depp would be reuniting for the film, both of whom previously shared the silver screen in Nosferatu alongside Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Bill Skarsgård, and Willem Dafoe. Nosferatu was...

Según ha informado Nexus Point News, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter) protagonizará la película Werwulf, del director Robert Eggers. Además, a su lado podría estar Lily-Rose Depp (The Idol), que se encuentra en conversaciones para sumarse al proyecto. De confirmarse, supondría una nueva colaboración entre ambos intérpretes y el cineasta tras Nosferatu.

Eggers parece haberle cogido el gusto a los monstruos clásicos. Esta película será una historia de hombres lobo ambientada en la Inglaterra del siglo Xiii, con Taylor-Johnson como el licántropo titular. Pocos detalles se conocen del argumento, pero el realizador declaró recientemente: «Es, con diferencia, lo más oscuro que he escrito nunca».

Robert Eggers is bringing in one of his frequent favorites for his highly anticipated Werwulf. Following the release of Nosferatu, which saw the filmmaker give the vampire genre a critically acclaimed and box office hit, Focus Features is hoping the director can do the same for the werewolf genre. Werwulf is increasingly becoming a Nosferatu reunion film as both Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily Rose Depp are set to star in the movie, and now Eggers has brought on his most recurring actor.

Deadline reports that Willem Dafoe has joined the cast of Werwulf in an undisclosed role. This marks Dafoe and Eggers' fourth collaboration after 2019's The Lighthouse, 2022's The Northman, and 2024's Nosferatu. Eggers is also set to direct Dafoe in a new feature film adaptation of A Christmas Carol, where Dafoe will play Ebenezer Scrooge.

The film is being produced and financed by Focus Features, with Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner from Working Title and Chris and Eleanor Columbus from Maiden Voyage also on board as producers.

Willem Dafoe is close to teaming up again with director Robert Eggers for his next film, Werwulf, according to reports. The Oscar-nominated actor is in talks to star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with Lily-Rose Depp also likely to join the cast. The movie is set to be released by Focus Features on Christmas Day 2026.

The film’s story is still mostly a secret, but from the title, it seems to be about werewolves and will be set in 13th-century England. Sources say it will have dark themes, including witchcraft, and may be one of Eggers’ bloodiest movies yet.

The film is expected to use Old English dialogue to fit the historical setting. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is said to play the werewolf himself, while Lily-Rose Depp will likely portray his wife.

Willem Dafoe may be teaming with Robert Eggers again. Dafoe, who has starred in three previous films from the director, is in talks to join the cast of Werwulf, Eggers' latest chilling tale of period horror. So far, his role and the film's plot are being kept under wraps, but presumably the film will feature the legendary lycanthropic beast of the title. You'll be able to find out on December 25, 2026.

As per Deadline, Dafoe is not confirmed for the film yet, but is still in talks. Dafoe joins a cast that will already seem familiar to him, as it already features two cast members of Eggers' chilling reimagining of Nosferatu. Aaron Taylor-Johnson will play the lead in the film, while Lily-Rose Depp is, like Dafoe, in talks to join the cast.

The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu writer/director Robert Eggers has dealt with some dark subject matter over the course of his career – but the darkest story is yet to come. No, not in his Labyrinth sequel or his adaptation of A Christmas Carol, but in the project he’s going to make before those two: the creature feature Werwulf, which he’s making for Focus Features, aiming for a Christmas Day 2026 theatrical release. We heard yesterday that this movie is going to be a Nosferatu reunion, as that film’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp have signed on to star in it. Now, the Nosferatu reunion is getting bigger, as Deadline reports that Willem Dafoe is also in talks to join the cast.

Nothing has been revealed about the characters Taylor-Johnson, Depp, and Dafoe will be playing in Werwulf.

Eggers has written the screenplay for Werwulf with Sjón,...

Robert Eggers is a visionary director whose cinematic tapestry weaves together horror, folklore, and ancient myth with meticulous historical precision. His debut was the A24 horror film The Witch (2015), which emerged from the shadows like a dark enchantment, haunting and austere, rich in atmosphere and dread. A triumph both creatively and commercially, the film announced Eggers as a bold new voice in horror storytelling.

Following this triumph, Eggers returned to A24 for The Lighthouse (2019), a tempestuous tale of isolation and madness drenched in sea mist and old-world despair. A period piece bathed in eerie black-and-white beauty, it captivated critics and audiences alike, further cementing Eggers' command of mood and myth. With poetic dialogue and surreal performances, the film shimmered with mythological weight and psychological complexity.

After two A24 films, Eggers graduated on to Focus Features and set his sights on Norse legend withThe Northman (2022), an Amleth-inspired Viking epic. Though it underperformed at the box office,...

The next movie from director Robert Eggers is going to be a full-on Nosferatu reunion, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson signing on for Werwulf and Lily-Rose Depp in talks to star.

Deadline reports today that Willem Dafoe is also in talks to star in Eggers’ Werwulf for Focus Features, the duo re-teaming after The Lighthouse, The Northman and Nosferatu.

Dafoe is also reportedly being eyed to play Ebenezer Scrooge in an upcoming adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens tale A Christmas Carol for Eggers, we recently learned.

Set in the 13th century and being described as a medieval horror movie, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf will howl its way into theaters from Focus Features on Christmas Day 2026.

The filmmaker co-wrote the screenplay for Werwulf alongside Sjón, the Icelandic poet and novelist who previously co-wrote the Viking movie The Northman with Eggers.

Chris Columbus, who produced Nosferatu, is on board to produce Werwulf.

Although there has been growing enthusiasm for rising horror auteurs like Jordan Peele, Robert Eggers, Mike Flanagan, and Coralie Fargeat, no filmmaker has elicited quite as extreme of response as Ari Aster. While Aster’s talent was evident from some of his early, disturbing short films, his work within features has raised the threshold for upsetting content. There’s certainly an art to being transgressive for the sake of attention, but Aster has woven in delicate stories about human fragility and developed consistent working relationships with some of the industry’s finest actors. It’s far too early to judge whether Aster is the heir apparent to filmmakers like Tobe Hooper or Wes Craven, but he has earned enough name recognition that any of his upcoming projects has become an event worthy of anticipation.

Robert Eggers may be staging a little Nosferatu reunion with Werwulf as Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star in the upcoming horror flick. Not only that, but Lily-Rose Depp is also in talks to join the project. Both actors starred in Nosferatu.

The film is already slated for a December 25, 2026 release, and Eggers plans on shooting it later this year. He co-wrote the script with Sjón, his co-writer on The Northman. Details are being kept under wraps, but it’s been said that the story is set in 13th-century England. The script features “dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated in Old English.” The film was initially planned to be shot in black-and-white, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Eggers has teased that Werwulf is “the darkest thing I’ve ever written, by far.“

Robert Eggers has a packed working schedule ahead of him in the coming years, as the writer and director has signed on to make a new version of A Christmas Carol along with a Werewulf movie in the future. Now, a new report has revealed potential new casting for the latter project, as Eggers sets out to deliver a new take on the iconic horror monster through the historical lens that the filmmaker has been known to lean into in the past. According to this casting news, Eggers will reunite with some of his Nosferatu cast members for his next production.

Nexus Point News has exclusively reported that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp are attached to star in the upcoming horror movie, tentatively titled Werewulf. The report also states that Taylor-Johnson will be playing the titular creature, with Depp playing his wife. New information about the film was also revealed,...

A decade ago, Robert Eggers suddenly broke into Hollywood, seemingly coming out of nowhere, and made his mark with the darkly twisted, unsettling, and fanatical debut feature, The Witch. The film not only brought Anya Taylor-Joy into the industry but also elevated Eggers to a maestro of horror.

His unmatched skill with the genre has since then been unquestionable. Equipped with exactly the kind of scripts that make A24 go over the moon, Eggers steadily rose in Hollywood by breaking norms, challenging propriety, questioning the status quo, and examining socio-political and religious truths without offending either the orthodoxical society, politics, or religion.

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu proved to be a huge success for Focus Features, and we found out earlier this year that the acclaimed filmmaker is staying with the studio - and firmly in the horror genre - for his next project, Werwulf, which he also co-wrote with fellow The Northman scribe, Sjón.

Just in case the title didn't give it away, this will be a werewolf movie. Plot details are few and far between, but we know that the story will be set in 13th century England. The script is also said to "feature dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated to Old English."

The actor will star in Eggers’ gothic horror ‘Werwulf.’ Set in 13th‑century England with authentic Old English dialogue. Lily‑Rose Depp is in negotiations to play Taylor‑Johnson’s wife. Although plot details are still under wraps, insiders say Werwulf will weave in witchcraft elements, leaning into Eggers’ signature folklore-driven horror, and promises to be his most graphically intense film yet.

He's faced Alphas (28 Years Later), Rhinos (Kraven The Hunter), vampires (Nosferatu), and years of media lines asking whether or not he'll ever play James Bond, but for his next move, it looks like Aaron Taylor-Johnson is preparing to dance with the devil in the pale (full-)moonlight. Per Variety's reporting, the English actor is set to reunite with Nosferatu director Robert Eggers on the filmmaker's upcoming 13th century-set horror joint Werwulf. And, what's more, fellow Eggers alumni Lily-Rose Depp is in talks to join him.

Set to immerse cinemagoers in a meticulously detailed period setting once again, Werwulf — co-written by Eggers alongside Icelandic poet and The Northman scribe Sjón — is currently slated for release on Christmas Day 2026 stateside, meaning we'll likely see the movie hit British shores sometime in early 2027.

Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to reunite with Nosferatu director Robert Eggers for the upcoming period horror movie Werwulf. According to a recent report from Nexus Point News, the actor is set to join the director’s upcoming project, which will also feature Lily-Rose Depp.

The trio previously worked together in 2024’s Nosferatu, which was a critical and commercial success. However, Taylor-Johnson’s performance in the movie was singled out as a weak link. Hence, the actor now has a chance to redeem himself with Eggers’ new project, which is promised to be his darkest one yet.

Following an impressive string of successes beginning with The Witch, Eggers has won over horror and period audiences with The Lighthouse, The Northman, and most recently the 2024 remake of the 1922 classic Nosferatu. Next, Eggers is tackling another period piece with Werwulf, which he described as “a medieval werewolf movie” earlier this year, continuing on to say...

Robert Eggers will be following up Nosferatu with Werwulf for Focus Features, and Variety reports tonight that Nosferatu star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has signed onto the project.

Additionally, Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu) is currently in talks to join the film as well.

Set in the 13th century and being described as a medieval horror movie, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf will howl its way into theaters from Focus Features on Christmas Day 2026.

The filmmaker co-wrote the screenplay for Werwulf alongside Sjón, the Icelandic poet and novelist who previously co-wrote the Viking movie The Northman with Eggers. Sjón has also been announced as the co-writer for a new Labyrinth movie being directed by Eggers.

Chris Columbus, who produced Nosferatu, is on board to produce Werwulf.

While Universal hasn’t had much success with their recent attempts to bring classic monsters back to life for today’s audiences, with this year’s Wolf Man performing poorly at the box office,...

“Nosferatu” star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to reunite with director Robert Eggers on his next film, “Werwulf,” set for a Christmas 2026 release by Focus Features.

In “Nosferatu,” Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a wealthy shipbuilder who does not heed Thomas and Ellen Hutter’s warnings that their German town has fallen under the curse of the vampire Count Orlok until it is too late.

Eggers co-wrote “Werwulf” with Icelandic writer Sjon, with whom he wrote his 2022 Viking revenge tale “The Northman.” The upcoming film will be set in the 13th century and will have Chris and Eleanor Columbus return as executive producers through their banner Maiden Voyage.

“Nosferatu” was a smash hit for Focus Features this past winter with $181 million grossed worldwide, becoming the studio’s third highest grossing film in history. “Werwulf” will hit theaters in 2026 as a likely R-rated gothic horror alternative to four-quadrant fare like Marvel’s “Avengers: Doomsday...

Robert Eggers found a lot of success with Nosferatu, a vampire story derived from the original horror tale Dracula. He's now looking at bringing a werewolf story to life for the filmmaker's next project, though he's going to be doing so with the help of some of the stars of Nosferatu.

Nexus Point News is reporting that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp are set to reunite with Eggers with roles in Werwulf, the director's next film. The movie is a werewolf horror flick set in England during the 13th century with Old English dialogue. It was first announced at the start of this year after the success of Nosferatu. Werwulf is co-written by Eggers and Sjón (The Northman), with both also serving as producers.

Reportedly, Taylor-Johnson is set to play the titular werewolf while Depp will portray his wife. While not many other details about the project have been revealed,...

Robert Eggers will be reuniting with two of the stars of his hit gothic horror remake Nosferatu for his upcoming creature feature Werwulf. Slated to open on Christmas Day in 2026, Werwulf will feature a script co-written by Eggers and Sjón. While no plot details have been revealed, the movie will reportedly be set in 13th-century England and shot entirely using Old English dialogue, with annotations and translations throughout to ensure understanding.

The new film will no doubt fall in line with Eggers' typical style, which is marked by intricate attention to detail and period realism, along with a healthy dose of spine-chilling dread. There was a sneaky tease for Werwulf buried in Nosferatu's extended cut, but Eggers' latest will be another stand-alone movie like the rest of his directorial filmography.

As originally reported by Nexus Point News, and later confirmed by Variety, Nosferatu stars Lily-Rose Depp and Aaron Taylor-Johnson...

Robert Eggers is getting the wheels in motion on his next film Werwulf as sources have confirmed to Deadline that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star in the Focus Features pic with Lily Rose-Depp in talks to join the pic. Eggers will direct and co-wrote the script with The Northman‘s Sjón. Pic is getting a Christmas Day 2026 release in North America.

Focus Features is producing and financing. Both Eggers and Sjón will produce alongside Focus Features, with Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus executive producing.

While plot details are currently under wraps, based on the title, the film will likely revolve around the mythical monster.

Both Taylor-Johnson and Depp starred in Eggers’ most recent pic Nosferatu, which became the directors biggest hit to date. Taylor-Johnson was most recently seen in 28 Years Later.

Nexus Point News was first to report the castings.

Three years after its box office disappointment, an epic Viking movie has found success on streaming, and is quickly sailing up the charts. Vikings have long been a source of great inspiration on the big screen, with tales of high adventure and epic battles. Norse mythology has also been a popular subject, with gods like Thor becoming pop culture icons.

While Vikings aren't nearly as popular in cinema as they used to be, there is usually a new film every few years to help reignite interest. A few years before Nosferatu, director Robert Eggers tried to put his own spin on Viking lore. While it didn't do so well in theaters, his historical epic is a bona fide streaming hit.

The Northman Is A Streaming Hit On HBO Max Robert Eggers' Viking Film Is In The Top 10

Three years after it had a disappointing run in theaters, Robert Eggers' The Northman...

Director Robert Eggersdelivered the biggest hit of his career only a few months ago, making good on a decade-long promise to become one of the foremost genre filmmakers of his generation. Despite the critical acclaim that he'd been showered with, not to mention the devoted cult following he'd earned for himself, Eggers hadn't made a bona fide blockbuster before Nosferatu last year. His previous attempt, the revenge saga The Northman, had flopped at the box office. However, the movie was a major hit on the PVOD market. It's now witnessing a resurgence on HBO Max, coinciding with the finale of star Alexander Skarsgård's Apple TV+ series Murderbot.

Released in 2022, The Northman debuted to excellent reviews, with particular praise being directed at the film's ambitious scope and Eggers' handling of the action sequences. It holds a "certified fresh" 90% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus reads,...

Anya Taylor-Joy has been in blockbuster films like Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and The Super Mario Bros Movie, and was nominated for an Emmy for her role in TheQueen's Gambit, but her 2022 film with Alexander Skarsgård is currently climbing the streamingcharts worldwide. The Northman, from acclaimed director Robert Eggers, is now the No. 3 movie in HBO’s Top 10 Movies worldwide, per FlixPatrol.

The Northman is just behind Sinnersand A Minecraft Movie, which hold the first and second place spots, respectively. In addition to Taylor-Joy and Skarsgård, The Northman stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Claes Bang, and Gustav Lindh. It was written by Eggers and Sjón, and currently has a 90% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes with more than 350 critical reviews. Its audience score is slightly lower at 64%. The film was nominated for a Saturn Award, but lost to Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley.

Remember when films were sexy and cool? Steven Soderbergh does.

Dracula, Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, endures as a towering monument of gothic literature, its shadow stretching across centuries and cultures. With a mesmerizing blend of horror, sensuality, and dark romanticism, the Count has seduced generations of readers and filmmakers alike, from F.W. Murnau's silent nightmare Nosferatu (1922) to Bela Lugosi's haunting gaze in Dracula (1931).

Christopher Lee starred in Hammer's Dracula movies, his sanguine presence on full display in ten films, cementing the Count's cinematic immortality. Later, Francis Ford Coppola's opulent 1992 adaptation draped the tale in velvet and tragedy. More recently, Robert Eggers breathed eerie life into the legend with a new Nosferatu. Each adaptation reflects each era's fears and fascinations, but the Count's hypnotic pull remains undiminished.

However, not all Dracula adaptations are kissed by moonlight, and in fact, there is a new movie coming out that is drawing the ire of critics.

Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story...

The grossest, goriest, and most gratuitous of the year are set to be feted at the 2025 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards.

The horror magazine has unveiled the nominees for its signature awards, which includes the big categories you'd expect — like Best Wide Release and Best Lead Performance — and some you mind not—like Best Video Game and Best Public Domain Resurrection.

The Chainsaw Awards are also among the first opportunities for this year's potential awards frontrunner, Sinners, to flex its muscles. (Metaphorical muscles. Michael B. Jordan's are currently streaming on HBO Max.) Ryan Coogler's period vampire thriller is in contention for Best Wide Release — where it will compete with 28 Years Later — and boasts a total of ten nominations in all.

With an eligibility window that ran from July 2024 to June 2025, the Chainsaw Awards also include some of last year's awards contenders, including The Substance, which tied Sinners for nominations.
