There doesn’t need to be a full moon for this creature to arrive.
Universal has released the trailer for “Werewulf,” which will debut in theaters on Dec. 25.
The logline reads, “In 13th-century England, a mysterious creature stalks a foggy countryside as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality for the villagers.”
The trailer teases Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular creature, who undergoes an intense transformation that leaves the townspeople terrified. Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp reunite with director Robert Eggers for the project after previously working together in “Nosferatu.” Willem Dafoe and Ralph Ineson are also returning for Egger’s newest horror period piece.
Jack Morris, Jan Bijvoet, Ritchi Edwards and Bodhi Rae Breathnach also star in the film, with Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus executive producing. Along with Focus Features, Eggers and Sjón are producing after having previously co-written “The Northman” together in 2022.
