First Image for Robert EggersWerwulf Surfaces as Trailer Is Tied to Full Moon

A removed NBC Store posting and limited industry screenings point to a controlled marketing rollout ahead of the film’s December 25 theatrical release.

Overview

  • A promotional image showing a snowy, moonlit forest briefly appeared on the NBC Store over the weekend and was later taken down, with multiple outlets reporting the removal.
  • Trade coverage and reports say Focus Features plans to release the first public trailer on the full moon, June 29, likely using a version of the CinemaCon trailer screened privately in April.
  • Robert Eggers co-wrote Werwulf with Sjón and has called the script “the darkest thing I’ve ever written,” while the cast includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily‑Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach.
  • Reported production details describe a 13th‑century England setting, period-true dialogue with translations, and shooting on 35mm film in a 1.37:1 aspect ratio.
  • The rollout underscores Eggers’ auteur-driven approach and focused secrecy, and the June 29 trailer release will be a key moment to confirm the film’s tone and how folklore and creature elements are presented to audiences.
