Nosferatu proved to be a huge success for Focus Features and director Robert Eggers, and the filmmaker is staying firmly in the horror genre for his next project with the studio.

THR reports that Eggers is set to helm Werwulf, which he also co-wrote with fellow The Northman scribe Sjón.

Just in case the title didn't give it away, this is a werewolf movie. Plot details are few and far between, but THR notes that the story will be set in 13th century England. "The script also features dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated to Old English."

Apparently, Eggers was initially planning to shoot the film in black and white, before deciding against it.

Eggers and Sjón will also produce alongside Focus Features. Chris and Eleanor Columbus, who worked with Eggers on Nosferatu, will executive produce.

An extended cut of Nosferatu is now available to purchase on Digital platforms, and you'll find a full list of bonus features below.

A new take on F. W. Murnau's 1922 version and Werner Herzog's take in 1979, Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.

Written for the screen and directed by Robert Eggers, Nosferatu stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.

The movie has also been confirmed for a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on February 18.
