Eggers would have made the best Odyssey movie ever if he had someone to do one thing...

Hold a gun to his head and make him portray the Greek Gods as real in the movie and not all in their imagination.

Seriously. His Valkyrie and the draugr from The Northman were amazing, which leads me to believe he would bring Scylla and the Cyclops and the rest of the monsters and creatures to life on screen.

The berserker dance was so primal and otherworldly. I would love to have seen him do something similar with Bronze Age warriors and their rituals and battle cries.

As far as I'm concerned, Eggers does the best period movies ever. When he dares to do embrace the supernatural.

My God his Athena would have been amazing based on his Valkyrie.

Just like you often see studios compete by making similar films, I wish Eggers would make a competing The Odyssey movie with a rival studio.

Please. Someone pass this on to Eggers.

Tell him his period stuff craps all over Nolan's.

What is the Werwulf werewolf design?

Hi,

Do we know yet what the design for the werewolf in the upcoming film Werwulf will look like?

I understand some got to see an exclusive trailer or something.

I was wondering if it was more "hairy man with wolf features" like wolfman or stereotypical wolf head werewolf like American werewolf in London, or even just a big wolf like Twilight saga's werewolves. Photos in order.

I personally really love the classic werewolves of American werewolf in London and the Howling. But I am really worried it's going to be a hairy man type with just teeth, pointy ears, and claws.

Any news yet?

Thoughts on trailers (generally)

I’m super excited for Werwulf, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of Egger’s works in the past, and can’t wait for the movie to come out. However, I’m not gonna watch the trailer, and am kind of stressed about how exactly I’m going to go about avoiding it.

See, my philosophy is I’ve already decided I’m going to see the movie, so I don’t really know why I’d watch the trailer. I rather like going in blind, because I feel like trailers can skew expectations, and will only ever watch trailers if I don’t know if I’m going to see the movie yet or not or if I already have low expectations. I did this with Nosferatu, Challengers, Bugonia, Superman, Marty Supreme, and felt I got a really genuine experience out of those because I wasn’t really sure what to expect.

How do you guys feel about this method? And also, what do you guys enjoy about trailers? I thought I’d spark this discussion considering there’s a lot of hype around Werwulf and the upcoming trailer.

Is obsession playing the Werwulf trailer?

Obsession is now in theaters and we know there have been rumors that the trailer would be one of the main previews today since they are both being produced by Focus Features. The official Werwulf Instagram account has been created and nothing has been posted on there either, nor anything on YouTube. Just curious if anyone has gone to see the movie and if the trailer was attached.

Orlok's Human Appearance and Historical Origin?

I'm planning an illustration of Orlok making his deal with the devil, I want it historical and accurate to what such a scene may have looked like in that period's artistic vision

So if there are any clues about when he was a human, what was his ethnicity and where he may have made the deal, lets discuss it

I think an actor Robert Eggers would do wonders with is Emma D’Arcy

I would kill for this collab. Anyone who has seen Emma in House of the Dragon would know, easily one of the acting powerhouses of that show. In another life, I could see them playing Anna Hutter in Nosferatu.

Edit: Emma D’arcy uses they/them pronouns. I’m not having this conversation.

Nosferatu director’s cut?

I was watching an interview with Robert Eggers and sound artist Damian Volpe about the sound design of “Nosferatu” (Director Robert Eggers and the Bloodcurdling Sound of Nosferatu | #DolbyCreator Talks; I’ll leave the link on the comments) and Eggers talks about them preparing the director’s cut of the film.

Does anyone know anything about what’s the director’s cut? We have the “theatrical cut” and the “extensive cut”, but this is the first time I’m hearing about a director’s cut.

If Robert Eggers was ok making witches "real" in The Witch. Why didn't he make the zombie king and the Valkyrie "real" in The Northman?

He's said he didn't want the Northman to be like generic fantasy like Game of Thrones. But if he was ok making the witches and the devil real in The Witch. Why would making the zombie king and the Vallyrie real be an issue?

He did those scenes so well he should've just made a Beowulf movie.

Witch killing Samuel

Hello, dear people. I have a question, this person here in the scene in witch's hut, witch cuts off Samuel's penis. I watched the scene a year ago, and I was like," Surely that's what's happening here," but now I'm writing my thesis and wanted to elaborate on that scene, so I went back to it, and now I don't think that's what's happening there at all. Did anyone else see this scene as a castration scene, or was it just me and this one person, and we were trippin?
