Robert Eggers on NOSFERATU, NORTHMAN, THE LIGHTHOUSE! (Interview 2023)

Hey Everyone, in this video I’m fortunate enough to sit down with one of my filmmaking heroes, Robert Eggers, the director behind recent hit film The Northman, The Lighthouse, The Witch! And we briefly talk his newest project, NOSFERATU! He’s an absolute legend, and I can’t believe I was fortunate enough to interview him, we talk shooting in Ireland, his favourite movies, and an update for his long awaited NOSFERATU!
I would really appreciate it if anyone could donate to the national deaf children’s society! Every cents helps! Thanks! www.ndcs.org.uk/

Robert Recommends that everyone should watch THE OFFERING, directed by Oliver Park
Robert Eggers is one of my favourite filmmakers in the WORD! He made his feature debut in 2015, with The Witch, or VVitch! He then followed this with The Lightouse, and his most recent film was Viking epic The Northman! Next up he’s set to direct Nosferatu, He’s an absolute legend, and I completely understand how fortunate I am to talk with him, this is a bucket list interview, and he couldn’t have been any kinder, a true, genuine guy. Go check out his work! Thanks again to Robert for taking the time to chat, and thanks for watching!

Dude, 15 years old? So stoked for you to be interviewing such incredible filmmakers the way that you are. Keep it up.

[@smoothbrain4384]

This is really cool, professional interview from a such an apt young man with one of the best film makers of our day. Keep it up and you're going places. Eggers is nothing but class. Respect

[@Rickie_Speed]

Great interview man! I am beyond jealous that you got to speak with him. He is probably the only director alive I would want making Nosferatu. I know he will do it the utmost justice.

[@danielfee33]

Thank you so much, and my sentiments exactly! He’s going to crush it!

[@devontehuntley6274]

Because that ridiculous 1979 version wasn't bad enough for this. Why do another remake. NOT NEEDED.

[@emptysociety7707]

Its beem 100 years from the original,eggers loves his job bro,its gonna be fantastic and fresh !@@devontehuntley6274

[@TheJourney1982]

Fair play Robert Eggers - love that he did this

[@Johnnysmithy24]

I want this man to make a Werewolf film so bad. He’s the only who could use the mythos and make it actually terrifying. Sadly werewolves have never gotten a very good treat in cinema

[@brandenapexo604]

Uh Dog Soldiers, The Howling, Universals WolfMan wasnt scary but it was a decent werewolf film.

[@benjamincox4211]

Trick R Treat did werewolves really well but it’s not based in historical mythology tho. Still pretty scary

[@joaopassinhas869]

An American werewolf in London is an amazing movie

[@Monkeypole]

The Lighthouse is the best film I've seen in many years. Can't wait for Nosferatu.

[@danielfee33]

Neither can I! It’ll be excellent!

[@Deadinaditchofficial]

[@danielfee33]

Ah man! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, and comment!! I agree, Rob is an absolute legend! Thanks again!

[@DregHeaps]

This is really impressive dude, good on ya. You’re a better interviewer as a young man than a big number of people on this platform. Genuinely thanks for talking to him, good to hear from him in between movies like this!

[@danielfee33]

Thank you so much Denis, that’s immensely kind of you. I’m truly honoured!! Thank you! Such a legend!

[@framedfiilm]

Great interviews man... so nice to see someone ask questions one hasn't heard in other interviews yet. Kind of feels like the people you interview open up more that way, lovely!

[@danielfee33]

Thank you so much, that’s the kindest compliment I’ve ever received. I really try my best to have a fluid chat, and j always love asking obscure questions haha!! Thank you again! My day is made!

Good interview. Good job!

[@devil_pls]

Maaann. I am so jealous. You got to interview arguably my favorite director that is working right now. Seriosly I feel like Robert doesn't even know as what kind of a genius he has proven himself to be with the movies he's put out already. Great Interview man!

[@danielfee33]

Yeah man, I hope he knows how much of a genius he is! Thanks for watching!!

I want this dude to remake monster squad. Great work kid. I remember doing the same emailing people from walking dead. T Dog and Aaron’s BF on show got back to me. You beat me on this interview. Keep up the great work brotha! 👏

This is a great Interview Daniel., really enjoyed it.... Robert was as cool as ever but I was even more impressed with how natural, chatty, enthusiastic and well researched you are.... don't change dude, your energy is spot on 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@laserspear22]

Really enjoy the pace and quality of this interview. Just subscribed. Congrats on getting Eggers on here!

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

Great interview. I just love how you got a good conversation going. I love Eggers' work, and he is always interesting to listen to, but you gave him just the right starting points. Really a worthwhile conversation to listen to. Just two people who we can clearly see are invested in what they are doing, heart, brains, and all. I am so happy for you that you got to talk to one of your favourite artists, one of the greatest living film makers today, and that so early on in your career. I hope it will give you a well deserved boost in getting known. Keep up the good work!

[@Mlk-Al-Halabi]

[@danielfee33]

He’s the kindest and coolest guy ever. Forever indebted to him

[@aidanoleary5143]

Daniel, you have a new subscriber. Blown away by your natural interview skills. One of the best! Keep it going. Robert Eggers is becoming one of the most talented and creative Director's in film. The Witch outstanding and The Northman epic. Can't wait for Nosferatu!!! He reminds me of our own Neil Jordan with his avid interest in Mythology and folklore. If you haven't seen Neil Jordan's Cult Classic The Company Of Wolves l urge you to do so.

[@danielfee33]

Thank you so much. I’ve found that if you just pretend like you know what you’re doing, you can’t be stopped! Neil Jordan is a legend. That’s a great shout! I hope I get to interview him one day. Thanks so much for watching, and I truly appreciate the kind words. Mr Eggers is such a kind giy

[@MichaelMayo-yl3in]

I can tell he respects u lol. Dude is rich could be doing anything that was a joy to see

[@quark6766]

I can only imagine how thrilled you were to get Robert Eggers on your channel.

[@danielfee33]

It was unbelievable! He’s such a nice guy!!

[@seranonable]

He's probably like "Who is this kid and how did he become such a good interviewer?" In all seriousness, great job man.

[@jackhackett80]

I've seen all Eggers' films in cinema and own the blu-rays! He's one to keep up with!

I trust he will direct a good Nosferatu, but in all reality I don't envy him at all. Following a classic like Nosferatu is a heavy task. Good luck to him

I really hope he would be given a budget for a movie about dante's divine comedy trilogy. I really think he is the best director for those kind of films. plus I'm been wanting a movie about dante's inferno or Paradise Lost by John Milton
