Willem Dafoe’s “Crazy Vampire Hunter” look for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is released with a wild story behind it.
Robert Eggers has set his sights back on his Nosferatu remake, and he’s found stellar replacements for Harry Styles and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The upcoming Nosferatu remake from director Robert Eggers has just added Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp.
Director Robert Eggers on why The Northman is his most mainstream film yet (even though it still packs enough offbeat punch for his fans), the film's connections to Hamlet, his deep research into Viking culture, and more.
With writer-director Scott Frank’s The Queen’s Gambit now streaming on Netflix, I recently got to speak with Anya Taylor-Joy about making the fantastic limited series. If you haven’t seen the trailers, The Queen’s Gambit is based on the novel by Watler Tevis and follows Beth Harmon (Taylor-Joy), who was abandoned to a Kentucky orphanage in the late 1950s. While there, she discovers an extraordinary talent for the game of chess, but also becomes addicted to the tranquilizers provided by the state as a sedative for the children. After getting adopted by Alma Wheatley (…
Look, I love, love, love Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse. But my love for the 2019 black-and-white drama, weirdness and all, did not prepare me for the revelation that is the original, loose pitch Eggers had when he was trying to get the project off the ground. Eggers opened up about The Lighthouse's original pitch while chatting with Film Independent for their "Coffee Talks" Q&A series recently. In addition to other topics covered during the hour-long chat, including his upcoming project The Northman, Eggers spoke about The Lighthouse. As Eggers recalls (via Indiewire), he was …
If you've seen either The Witch (The VVitch for the real stans) or The Lighthouse (The Lighthouse, Ye Salty Sea Dog! for the real stans), you know just how exacting filmmaker Robert Eggers' visions are. He got his start as a production designer, and these lower-budget art-horror freakouts pop in large part because you can feel Eggers' literal fingertips on every surface. But for his next film, The Northman, that type of process has to change. Because, as he explained to Film Independent Coffee Talk (via IndieWire), it's the largest-scale film he's made yet. …
Here's what he told us.
Robert Eggers is a gifted director whose films, The Witch and The Lighthouse, aren't for everyone. But regardless of how you feel about them, it's impossible to deny the artistry in each film or the commitment of the performances. Eggers' strength is in recreating a specific time and place, and it's that very strength that should serve him well on his next project, which sources say will be a Viking revenge saga titled The Northman that is set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century. Eggers has lined up quite a cast, as Oscar winner …
Robert Eggers’ horror film The Lighthouse is one of the best in Cannes (click here for our review). As the Cannes Festival progresses into its final days it is becoming increasingly clear that many of the best and most adventurous films can be found outside the competition. The American director’s second film after his prize-winning The Witch pits Willem Dafoe against Robert Pattinson as the new recruit who arrives for a four-week stint at an isolated New England lighthouse in the 1890s and gets stuck there during a storm. The British actor and current contender for the …
