Summary
- Lily-Rose Depp sheds glamour for medieval horror film Werwulf.
- Filming locations include a purpose-built village in Surrey.
- Robert Eggers reunites with Depp and Willem Dafoe for the project.
Lily-Rose Depp, a familiar face of classic French glamour and Chanel ambassador, has been captured in a starkly different appearance for her role in the upcoming medieval horror film, Werwulf. Exclusive images reveal the actress in a shapeless brown smock and headscarf, a dramatic departure from her usual designer attire, on the film's specially-constructed set in Surrey, England.
The production has meticulously recreated a 13th-century English village in Bourne Wood, near Farnham. Depp was photographed filming scenes in a mud-filled cemetery, complete with wooden crosses, and holding a swaddled baby, hinting at the film's dark themes.
Werwulf is helmed by director Robert Eggers, who previously worked with Depp on the Oscar-nominated Nosferatu. He has brought back Willem Dafoe and cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson for this project, with further scenes being shot on Dartmoor. The film explores a remote village menaced by a mysterious creature.
