Robert Eggers’ 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.

The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu writer/director Robert Eggers has dealt with some dark subject matter over the course of his career – but the darkest story is yet to come. No, not in his recently announced Labyrinth sequel, but in another recently announced project: the creature feature Werwulf, which he’s making for Focus Features, aiming for a Christmas Day 2026 theatrical release.

Eggers has written the screenplay for Werwulf with Sjón, his co-writer on the Viking saga The Northman. Details are being kept under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter’s sources told them “the story is 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. Initially, Eggers was planning on shooting the feature in black and white, but that is no longer the case. Suffice to say that...

Robert Eggers, the filmmaker behind The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, has revealed that his upcoming project, Werwulf, is the darkest story he has ever written—“by far.

Eggers is known for his unsettling and atmospheric films, often exploring folklore, history, and psychological horror. With Werwulf, it seems he is taking things to an even darker place.

Eggers is making this new werewolf flick with Focus Features. He co-wrote the script with Sjón, his writing partner from ‘The Northman.’ Eggers will direct the film, which is set to release on Christmas Day 2026 in North America.

Focus Features recently worked with Eggers on Nosferatu, his gothic horror film starring Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, and others. ‘Werwulf’ will be produced by Eggers, Sjón, and Focus Features,...

It has been a full couple of weeks for Robert Eggers. Nosferatu, his Gothic remake of the 1922 classic, is leading the box office with $156 million so far. A few days ago, cinephiles got word that he's staying in the Universal monster motif with Werwulf coming next. (No relation with the foible-ridden "Dark Universe.")

Now comes the announcement that the cerebral moviemaker is going to make a sequel to the 1986 cult classic Labyrinth. The film starred the wit and whimsy of Jim Henson, who created a compelling story and fascinating puppets for a fantasy world featuring Ziggy Stardust himself, David Bowie.

Eggers signed on to direct and co-write with his creative partner Sjón, with whom he collaborated on The Northman. Variety reported Chris and Eleanor Columbus are slated to produce the film with Lisa Henson. Also along for the ride is Jim's son, Brian Henson, who will be executive producing.

Jeff Sneider recently reported that Nosferatu director Robert Eggers was set to helm a new Labyrinth movie, and while some were quick to dismiss the rumor, it's now been confirmed.

Back in 2020, we got word that Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson had signed on to helm a sequel to Jim Henson's fantasy classic for Sony-owned studio TriStar Pictures. Updates have pretty much been non-existent since, and we had heard that another filmmaker was being sought for the project - we just didn't expect it to be Eggers!

According to Deadline, Eggers is also set to write the project with frequent collaborator Sjón for TriStar. Producers will include Lisa Henson, Chris Columbus, and Eleanor Columbus, while Brian Henson will executive produce.

We also have confirmation that the movie will be a direct sequel, not a reboot. Whether this means we'll see Jennifer Connolly back as Sarah and a new...

Robert Eggers will tackle the long awaited Labyrinth 2, and it’s now been announced. A bit more information here.

It’s been an exciting week for Robert Eggers. His remake of Nosferatu has been hugely successful, and it was recently confirmed that his next film will be Werwulf, due out at the end of 2026. Even got through the spell checker, that.

But there’s more! According to Deadline, the filmmaker has closed a deal to write and direct a new Labyrinth film for TriStar Pictures.

The original Labyrinth is a much loved cult classic from 1986. It saw the great Jim Henson direct from a screenplay by Monty Python member Terry Jones.

The story follows sixteen year old Sarah, played by Jennifer Connelly, who must navigate a treacherous maze in order to save her baby brother from The Goblin King, Jareth, played by David Bowie. Throughout her journey, Sarah encounters...

Modern horror visionary, Robert Eggers is on a roll. Not only did Focus Features just announce Eggers' next project, Werwulf, but now a rumor about another exciting project for the Nosferatu director is gaining even more traction. While Focus Features might want to keep the star director to itself, it looks like it'll have to share pretty soon.

According to Deadline, Eggers has closed a deal with TriStar Pictures to write and direct a new Labyrinth story, a rumored sequel to the Jim Henson 1986 musical film featuring David Bowie in the role of a lifetime. Reportedly, Eggers is writing the script for the Labyrinth sequel with his The Northman and Werwulf partner, Sjón, while Chris and Eleanor Columbus will produce with Lisa Henson and executive producer Brian Henson, which makes for a confidence-boosting team behind the rumored project.

While the horror filmmaker hasn't confirmed the deal himself, he also hasn't denied the exciting rumors,...

On the heels of his now-Oscar-nominated Nosferatu, Robert Eggers has now closed a deal to write and direct a sequel to cult classic Labyrinth.

Rather than acting as a remake of the 1986 Jim Henson film, the upcoming Labyrinth movie will continue the narrative. The film is being produced by TriStar Pictures alongside Lia Henson, Chris and Eleanor Columbus, and Brian Henson, who will be serving as Executive Producer.

Reportedly, efforts to develop a Labyrinth sequel have been underway since 2017, when Scott Derrickson was attached to a previous version of a script. The current production will be moving forward with a script to be co-written by Eggers and his The Northman collaborator Sjón. Plot details are currently under wraps.

Robert Eggers reminds me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power to finally, at long last, bring a sequel to Jim Henson‘s Labyrinth into the world! A day after announcing his Werwulf film project for Focus Features and Nosferatu coming to digital platforms, Robert Eggers confirms he’s writing and directing a Labyrinth sequel for TriStar Pictures. I am freaking the f**k out, friends. Labyrinth is one of my favorite films of all time, and the thought of Eggers taking the reins for a sequel to Jim Henson’s 1986 classic fantasy film is giving me life!

Plot details for Eggers’s Labyrinth sequel remain more mysterious than Jareth’s magnificent package, though sources say the film is a sequel, not a remake, to Henson’s timeless, puppet-populated masterpiece.

Robert Eggers is getting very busy. A day after setting up his next film, “Werwulf,” at Focus Features, the director of “Nosferatu” and “The Northman” has closed a deal with TriStar Pictures to direct a sequel to “Labyrinth.”

Released in 1986, “Labyrinth” starred Jennifer Connolly as a teen who, frustrated with taking care of her infant half-brother, wishes for him to be taken away by the goblins in a fantasy book she is reading. Her rash wish is granted by the Goblin King Jareth, played by David Bowie, who gives her 13 hours to find her brother in a magical labyrinth before he is turned into a goblin forever.

Initially a box office dud with $34 million grossed against a $25 million budget, “Labyrinth” became a cult classic thanks to Bowie’s performance and the intricate puppet creatures created by director Jim Henson and his team. Details on the sequel’s plot are being kept under wraps.

“Nosferatu” director Robert Eggers is set to write and direct the sequel to Jim Henson’s the 1986 cult fantasy movie “Labyrinth” for TriStar Pictures, Variety has confirmed.

Eggers is writing the project with his writing partner Sjón, while Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are producing alongside Lisa Henson. Brian Henson is executive producing.

The sequel originally had Scott Derrickson set to direct. When asked about the status of the project for TriStar Pictures and Jim Henson Pictures in 2023, Derrickson admitted it was “a tough nut to crack” and apparently exited after that. The script had been set to be written by Maggie Levin, and it was being described as a sequel at the time.

Directed by Jim Henson, the original “Labyrinth” starred David Bowie as the Goblin King and Jennifer Connelly as a teenager who must save her baby brother, along with a slew of Henson puppets, in an imaginative...

In addition to the just announced 13th century werewolf movie Werwulf for Focus Features, director Robert Eggers will also be writing and directing a follow-up to the Jim Henson classic Labyrinth for TriStar Pictures, Deadline reports this afternoon.

According to the outlet, Eggers has “closed a deal” to make the movie for TriStar.

Deadline further details, “Plot details for Eggers’ Labyrinth are under wraps, but we’re told the film is a sequel, rather than a remake of Jim Henson’s 1986 classic.”

It’s been a big week for Robert Eggers.

A day after Focus Features’ announcement of Werwulf, which he’s set as his next film on the heels of Nosferatu, we’ve learned that the filmmaker has closed his deal to write and direct a new Labyrinth film for TriStar Pictures.

The news comes following the unveiling of the 2025 Oscar nominations, which included four for Eggers’ hit vampire flick in the Cinematography, Costume Design, Production Design and Makeup and Hairstyling categories.

Plot details for Eggers’ Labyrinth are under wraps, but we’re told the film is a sequel to, rather than a remake of, Jim Henson’s 1986 classic. Eggers is writing the script with Sjón, his collaborator on 2022 Viking actioner The Northman and with whom he’s also working on Werwulf. Chris and Eleanor Columbus will produce alongside Lisa Henson, with Brian Henson executive producing.

A beloved musical fantasy starring...

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

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 will be 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."

It remains to be seen if the werewolf will be rocking a moustache.

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,...

Eggers wrote ‘Werwulf’ with Sjón, who co-wrote the brutal Viking saga ‘The Northman’ with the filmmaker.

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

The movie has been slated for a North America release on Christmas Day, 2026, following in the footsteps of the adaptation of ‘Nosferatu’ which has gone on to become a major hit.

The post Robert Eggers to direct werewolf horror ‘Werwulf’ appeared first on HeyUGuys.

Continuing its relationship with filmmaker Robert Eggers, Focus Features will produce and finance his next film, “Werwulf,” according to an insider with knowledge of the project.

The film will be released in North America on Christmas Day, 2026. “Werwulf” follows the release of the tremendously successful film “Nosferatu,” which quickly became the biggest non-sequel Horror opening in 2024.

“Werwulf” is written by Eggers and Sjón (“The Northman”), with Eggers set to direct. Both Eggers and Sjón will produce alongside Focus Features, with Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus executive producing.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the news, “while details are scarce, sources say the story is set in 13th century England.”

“Nosferatu” is an adaptation of the 1922 silent movie classic, itself a loose adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” with a starry cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.

Hot off his Dracula feature, Robert Eggers is getting ready to bring the folklore of werewolves to the big screen.

IndieWire has learned that the “Nosferatu” auteur will reunite with Focus Features for his next title, “Werwulf.” The Hollywood Reporter first announced the project, which is described as a werewolf horror movie set in 13th century England. As THR noted, Eggers was originally planning on shooting the feature in black and white, but it now will be in color.

Eggers cowrote the script with his “The Northman” scribe Sjón. Like “Nosferatu,” “Werwulf” will be getting a holiday release; the film is set to premiere Christmas Day 2026.

Focus Features is producing and financing. Both Eggers and Sjón will produce alongside Focus Features, with Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus executive producing. Eggers has collaborated with his “Werwulf” executive producers Chris Columbus and his daughter Eleanor’s company, Maiden Voyage, since “The Witch.

The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu made its way out into theatres last month and has stirred up a lot of positive reactions, with JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray even describing the film as a new horror classic in his 10/10 review. Focus Features released Nosferatu on Christmas Day – and now, The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Eggers has decided to reteam with Focus Features for his next film, a creature feature called Werwulf, and Focus is looking to replicate the success of Nosferatu by releasing Werwulf on Christmas Day 2026!

Nosferatu has made over $156 million at the global box office so far.

Eggers has written the screenplay for Werwulf with Sjón, his co-writer on the Viking saga The Northman. Details are being kept under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter’s sources tell them “the story is set in 13th century England.

In recent weeks, the vampire movie Nosferatu shined with success while the werewolf film Wolf Man crashed and burned. Now, the director of the former will get his own chance to take a crack at finding new success with werewolf movies on the big screen.

Per Deadline, Nosferatu director Robert Eggers will team back up with Focus Features for his next feature film. He will be helming Werwulf, a werewolf movie he co-wrote with Sjón (The Northman). The film has also been dated for a release in North American theaters on Christmas Day in 2026. Nosferatu also happened to have a Christmas release, which turned out to be successful for the horror film, despite its arrival on such a festive holiday.

Eggers is reteaming with Focus Features for his next film “Werwulf,” a werewolf horror feature that he will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón, Variety has confirmed. The film is slated for a Christmas Day 2026 release in North America.

Focus Features most recently financed and released Eggers’ critically-acclaimed gothic horror film “Nosferatu,” starring Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Willem Dafoe.

Eggers and Sjón, who also co-wrote 2022’s “The Northman” together, are producing “Werwulf” alongside Focus Features, while Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus are serving as executive producers.

Eggers and Focus Features have partnered on all his films to date. In addition to “The Northman,” “Nosferatu” and the upcoming “Werwulf,” the studio has also collaborated with the horror filmmaker on “The Witch” (2015) and “The Lighthouse” (2019), for which Focus handled international distribution through Universal International.

Robert Eggers is reteaming with Focus Features after the phenomenal success of Nosferatu becoming the studio’s second highest grossing movie stateside with $90.5M behind Downton Abbey, and that is with the new genre movie Werwulf.

After tackling vampires with Nosferatu, filmmaker Robert Eggers is taking on another horror creature genre in his own inimitable style.

Eggers has co-written Werwulf, a werewolf horror project that he will direct as his next feature.

Focus Features, Universal’s art house division which released and financed Nosferatu, is back in business with the filmmaker for Werwulf. The company has dated the thriller for a North America release on Christmas Day, 2026. The parties are hoping for more holiday greetings as Nosferatu was also released on Christmas Day and went on to become an improbable hit.

Eggers wrote Werwulf with Sjón, who co-wrote heady Viking saga The Northman with the filmmaker. While details are scarce, sources say the story is set in 13th century England.

Press Release: As audiences continue to succumb to the darkness in theaters across the nation,...

It's not uncommon for actors to have regrets, and for Hugh Grant, that applies to one film the veteran actor appeared in three decades ago. He's actually so unhappy with his performance in the movie that he says he cannot even allow his wife to see it.

In 1995, Grant starred in Nine Months. In the romcom, Grant plays a man whose longtime partner (Julianne Moore) becomes pregnant, despite her use of birth control, giving him about nine months to prepare for the unexpected addition. Grant has never been happy with his work in the movie, and in a recent interview with Variety, it was made clear he's still no fan. When the movie was brought up, Grant screamed "as if startled," the title alone making him uneasy. He clarified that it's just his own performance that he doesn't like, but be that as it may, he wouldn't be comfortable with letting his wife watch it.

Chris Columbus, the director of family favorites like “Home Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” and the first two “Harry Potter” movies, is an unlikely producer on one of 2024’s more talked about and grizzly horror films, Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu.”

In fact, Columbus has produced Eggers’ films dating back to “The Witch,” and he’s worked with Eggers to get “Nosferatu” to the screen for over a decade. He may direct a lot of family films, but he’s a film history buff (just check out Columbus’s picks from the TCM lineup) and still shares sensibilities with someone like Eggers.

In an interview with THR, Columbus explained how an unfortunate experience working on “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” influenced him to be a better producer when it came to working with other auteur filmmakers.

Columbus spoke about his production company Maiden Voyage alongside his daughter and production partner Eleanor Columbus, and...

2026 will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the musical fantasy film Labyrinth… and if all goes well, we might be able to celebrate the anniversary with a new film that’s set in the world of the original film. Such a project has been making its way through development hell for several years, and now Jeff Sneider of The InSneider has revealed that he has heard that The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu writer/director Robert Eggers has closed a deal to co-write and direct the new Labyrinth film!

This project first started moving forward in 2016, when Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel writer Nicole Perlman signed on to write the screenplay.

Robert Eggers Nosferatu from Focus Features sank its teeth into the Christmas box office. With James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown – Searchlight Pictures’ top-grossing film since it was acquired by Disney in 2019 – they ushered in a heady post-Covid moment for indie films at no. 3 and 5 at the domestic box office. Yes, both are labels of major studios but indie labels going for something different than Mufasa: The Lion King or Wicked.

The space for grownup films, for indie fare, had been steadily improving this fall and the latest numbers are the strongest indication yet that theatrical is back for a broader range of movies – and horror for Christmas.

A24’s Babygirl starring Nicole Kidman also grossed $4.39 million for the weekend for a cume of $7.2 million and a no. 7 spot.

Distributors have been saying for some time that a rising tide will lift all boats and with this holiday frame it finally may have happened.

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu opened to critical acclaim in theaters on Christmas day. The film received immense praise for its direction, cinematography, and performances. The remake of the 1922 classic was a passion project of Eggers and he began development on the project in 2015. Interestingly, there was a creative mind on set to help him with his vision for the film.

Harry Potter director Chris Columbus served as one of the producers of the film alongside his daughter Eleanor Columbus. Eggers shared that while Columbus didn’t try to take over his filmmaking style, the director served as a safety net. He would help the director realign his vision whenever it got a little too artsy.

Chris Columbus, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, was behind some of the most beloved and successful family films of all time. Among others, he wrote 1984’s Gremlins and 1985’s The Goonies, and he directed 1990’s Home Alone and 1992’s Home Alone 2: Lost in New York — both Christmas classics — as well as 1993’s Mrs. Doubtfire and 2001’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and 2002’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Which makes it all the more surprising and interesting that now, at the age of 66, he has produced — with Eleanor Columbus, his daughter and partner in Maiden Voyage Productions, an incubator for young filmmakers — Robert Eggers’ terrifying new horror film Nosferatu, which stars Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård, and which Focus will release on Christmas Day.

Over the course of a conversation at the L.A. offices of The Hollywood Reporter,...

A perfect option for those who are looking for some gothic horror this holiday season, I'm excited for Daily Dead readers to see Eggers' new vision of the classic vampire tale for themselves.

Everything came together so perfectly for this film, and having caught an early screening last month, I'm dying to revisit Nosferatu myself this week.

During a recent press day, I caught up with Robert Eggers, Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp, and Emma Corrin to talk about their experiences making the film. From Robert Eggers' love of Nosferatu and watching it on VHS to inspirations for the look of Count Orlok, the on-set experiences, and more, take a look at my interviews below.

We are just about a month and a half away from Christmas, which means we’re a month and a half away from the release of director Robert Eggers’ (The Witch, The Lighthouse) new movie Nosferatu, a fresh take on the classic horror movie from Focus Features.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, whose appearance has been hidden from the film’s marketing up to this point. And a new preview piece from Entertainment Weekly today suggests that will remain the case until the day of December 25, 2024.

According to the outlet, “Only when audiences arrive in theaters on premiere day this Christmas will the general public see the results of the full hair, make-up, and prosthetics.”

Entertainment Weekly also notes that the hiding of Nicolas Cage’s look in Longlegs by Neon’s marketing campaign “only confirmed that this was the right decision” for Nosferatu.

What does Count Orlok and his damp, dark castle smell like? Heretic Parfum and perfumer Douglas Little have teamed up with Focus Features to uncover just that with a limited edition scent celebrating the release of Nosferatu this December.

Heretic Parfum’s Nosferatu is available starting tomorrow, Thursday, October 31 on Heretic Parfum’s website for $125.

The limited edition scent is described as, “cold, pale and pellucid, the fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition.”

“A scent as atmospheric as the film, the perfume transports the wearer into the dark spaces inhabited by Count Orlok himself. The Eau de macabre opens with top notes of lilac and ambrette seed that fall into a heart chord of violet, orris root and petrichor. The mysterious dry-down is woven around vegan ambergris and Oud absolute.”

The cap of each 30ml bottle is engraved with Count Orlok’s sigil and comes packaged in...

Focus Features’ official Nosferatu trailer finds Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter describing her encounter with the creature: “It is like a dream. It was our wedding.

Written and directed by Robert Eggers, Nosferatu also stars Nicholas Hoult as Ellen’s husband, Thomas. Bill Skarsgård plays Count Orlok. The cast also includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding, Emma Corrin as Anna Harding, Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhelm Sievers, Simon McBurney as Knock, and Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz.

Focus Features has released the new trailer for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu movie, which will open in theaters on Wednesday, December 25, 2024.

The horror film marks Focus Features’ ongoing collaboration with Eggers following the 2022 release of the Viking epic The Northman. The film also reunites Eggers with veteran producer Chris Columbus, who is credited as executive producer on The Witch and The Lighthouse.

Robert Eggers’ 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.

Eggers wrote and directed the film, which stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe. The MPA has not yet rated the film.

Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham. Focus is distributing the Nosferatu movie in the U.S., and Universal Pictures International is handling international distribution.

Robert Eggers is continuing his cult films of the occult.

The “Witch” and “The Northman” auteur takes on his long-gestating reimagining of “Nosferatu,” with Bill Skarsgård playing the titular vampire. “The Idol” breakout Lily-Rose Depp stars as Ellen Hutter, a woman whose soul is seduced by Count Orlok (Skarsgård) while her husband Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) fights to save her.

Eggers writes and directs the remake of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film, which was later adapted by Werner Herzog in 1979. The official description for Eggers’ “Nosferatu” reads: “Robert Eggers’ ‘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.”

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Eggers’ longtime “The Lighthouse” and “The Northman” collaborator Willem Dafoe also star.

The official Twitter account for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu shared a cryptic video this morning, and it seems to suggest that something is headed our way early next week…

The 30-second video, which you’ll find embedded below, moves up a gothic pillar of some sort to reveal the date “9/30/2024” etched into the stone, and it’s pretty safe to say that Focus Features is promising the film’s official trailer this coming Monday, September 30, 2024.

This lines up with a scoop earlier this week indicating that a 2-minute, 30-second trailer for Nosferatu has been rated for release, and it now looks like next Monday is indeed the day.

Today’s video was tweeted out with the following mysterious message:

‘Til you bid me come, shall you watch the world become as naught.
