With all of that said, some fans may still wonder one thing: What’s the time cut-off point for a setting in a Robert Eggers movie? The Hansel and Gretel director addressed that as well during his chat with RT. And, quite frankly, it’s a bit closer than I’d imagined, based on his car and cellphone comments:

Nosferatu' filmmaker Robert Eggers is pretty much dead-set on not making a contemporary movie, saying the thought of it makes him 'ill.'

Nosferatu director Robert Eggers has no intention of making a movie set in modern times.

The director has only made movies set in the past, but he has chosen wildly different settings for each project.

Frank Grillo’s Werewolves dropped late last year, and Leigh Whannel’s Wolf Man recently landed on the 2025 movie schedule; it’s clear the subgenre is on the rise. Now, master of historical horror Robert Eggers is taking a stab at lycanthropy.
