For two films, Robert Eggers has terrified us with supernatural period pieces in the form of The Witch and The Lighthouse. But it looks like he will be stepping away from that for his next film. But that doesn’t mean he won’t have a stellar cast to work with.
According to new reports, he will be directing The Northman, a grounded revenge story, that will star Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Bill Skarsgård, and reunite him with his Witch star Anya Taylor-Joy and Lighthouse star Willem Dafoe. More on the report below.
An official trailer has been released for Hold the Dark, the latest feature from Blue Ruin and Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier.
The movie stars Jeffrey Wright, Riley Keough, Alexander Skarsgård, and James Badge Dale, and follows a retired wolf expert who travels to the Alaskan wilderness to help a mother whose son was killed.

The first official trailer has been released for Mute, the latest from Moon, Source Code, and Warcraft director Duncan Jones. Jones also co-wrote the screenplay along with Michael Robert Johnson (Sherlock Holmes, Pompeii).
The movie is described as “a science-fiction Casablanca,” following a mute bartender in a not-so-distant future Berlin. It stars Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd, Paul Rudd, Justin Theroux, Seyneb Saleh, Gilbert Owuor, Robert Sheehan, Nikki Lamborn, Noel Clarke, Daniel Fathers, Florence Kasumba, and Sam Rockwell.
Click on over to the other side now to read an official synopsis for Mute, and to give the new trailer a watch.
Long before Duncan Jones got the gig to direct the blockbuster adaptation of Warcraft, he was a small indie director with only a few features under his belt. In fact, Moon wasn’t even supposed to mark his debut as a director, that moment was reserved for his passion project, Mute.
Now that his obligations to Warcraft are behind him, the filmmaker can start focusing once again on bringing Mute to the big screen, and has announced that production on the film will commence next week. More on the story below.
