Ben Travis (Deputy Online Editor): This is a big step up for Robert Eggers. The scale of it looks so much bigger than The Witch and The Lighthouse. The studio’s trying to sell it as a mainstream film, but that’s not his sensibility. He’s going to make it feel gritty and grounded but also mythical, like with everything else that he’s done.
James Dyer (Digital Editor-In-Chief ):
I’m very here for Eric Northman from True Blood playing a Northman.
Ben: Maybe it’s gonna go full From Dusk Till Dawn halfway through; it becomes the vampire movie that you weren’t expecting.
Beth Webb (News Editor): Nicole Kidman’s wig has garnered its own fanbase on the internet, which is pretty nice.
