Overview
- Focus Features published the film’s second full trailer on Saturday and simultaneously activated an online alternate‑reality game at DevourethAllMankynde.com to coincide with the harvest full moon.
- Werwulf is a medieval lycanthropy tale set in 13th‑century England written by Robert Eggers and Sjón and it stars Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, Lily‑Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe with supporting players including Ralph Ineson and Bodhi Rae Breathnach.
- Eggers and multiple outlets say the dialogue is delivered in period‑appropriate Middle/Old English and the production emphasizes practical effects, prosthetic body horror and historical research rather than modern werewolf tropes.
- The studio is pacing marketing to full moons with past drops in June, July and August and three more full‑moon activations planned before release, each running a 24‑hour scavenger window for players to find a hidden code.
- Focus is positioning Werwulf as holiday counterprogramming and a prestige genre event after Eggers’ prior Christmas success with Nosferatu, and the studio has already signaled continued collaboration with the director on future projects.
