Robert Eggers is reteaming with Focus Features for his next film 'Werwulf,' a werewolf horror feature that he co-wrote.

However, if there’s another thing we know Eggers loves, it’s meticulous historical research, which will again come into play for Werwulf.

Eggers’ Nosferatu, a remake of 1922’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, was a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake. The film earned four Oscar nominations.
