The Lighthouse Trailer: Willem Dafoe & Robert Pattinson Go Insane On An Isolated Island!
The Lighthouse stars Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson who essay the role of lighthouse keepers. Egger has yet again managed to capture human emotions at its best.
Hollywood
filmmaker
Robert
Eggers,
who
is
known
for
his
2015
film
The
Witch,
has
yet
again
dwelled
into
the
realm
of
horror
with
his
latest.
The
Lighthouse
stars
Willem
Dafoe
and
Robert
Pattinson
who
essay
the
role
of
lighthouse
keepers.
While
Willem
plays
Thomas,
Robert
is
his
apprentice,
Ephraim
Winslow.
The
story
revolves
around
these
two
men
stuck
on
an
isolated
island
off
the
New
England
Coast
in
the
United
States.
Eggers
has
yet
again
managed
to
capture
human
emotions
at
its
best
and
the
actors
have
undoubtedly
delivered
exceptional
performances.
The
viewers
will
understand
the
mindset
of
the
characters
when
Wake
asks
Winslow,
"How
long
have
we
been
on
this
rock?
Five
weeks?
Two
days?
Help
me
to
recollect."
The
entire
film
has
been
shot
in
black-and-white
35
mm.
Eggers
told
Hotcorn,
"It's
very
tactile.
You
can
see
every
pore
of
the
actors'
faces.
It's
not
supposed
to
be
like
an
old
film
but
it
does
reference
them."
The
film
premiered
at
the
Cannes
Film
Festival
in
May.
It
is
scheduled
for
a
theatrical
release
on
October
18.
Several
crew
members
from
The
Witch
have
worked
in
The
Lighthouse,
including
composer
Mark
Korven,
editor
Louis
Ford
and
cinematographer
Jarin
Blaschke.
Reportedly,
Robert
Eggers
is
planning
on
directing
a
remake
of
FW
Murnau's
German
horror-classic
Nosferatu,
based
on
the
Dracula
novel.
Speculations
are
also
suggesting
that
he's
developing
a
mini-series
based
on
the
life
of
mystic
Grigori
Rasputin.
