Trailers for Upcoming Films

[brundlefly]

Robert Eggers next film is the embarrassingly titled but fully on brand Werwulf

Trailer. Merry Christmas!

1.33:1? Black and white, sepia, and drained color? Planimetric symmetrical framings? As the kids say, we're so back.

Hopefully he tackles The Invisible Man or Creature From The Black Lagoon next, Frankenstein has been played out of late.

Eggers has been open about his main passion being deciphering old dialects with making films as a secondary interest, so I imagine that if he reimagines another story it will take place in a different age and culture

It would be cool for him to talk some African culture’s folktale in that case. It’s linguistically interesting and not seen too often.

[Lowry_Sam]

Which is why I don't mind him redoing old narratives, at least there's an intention beyond just making some major studio some money while retaining one's creativity & unique vision & doing it well. Hopefully he doesn't lose it though if & when he choses to do Frankenstein or Pinocchio.

Much like Nosferatu, this appears to be all style, no substance

[knives]

You might find the substance wanting, but it seems such a bizarre and perhaps lazy thing to call Nosferatu style over substance. The style was clearly serving a thematic point concerning the treatment of sexuality and disease connected to a few other things in the period shown.
