Willem Dafoe

The thing that's beautiful about him is he gives you a beautiful setup. When I saw The Witch, which I knew nothing about, I walked in and I saw this movie really blindly without expectation. And I thought, wow, there's a filmmaker here. And I asked myself why. And I said, well, it's because I entered this world so easily. The movie sort of transports you.

Yes, that's true, but how you can enter it without being conscious that it's a period film. Robert Eggers has a talent for making these period films that are based on fables or histories or their genre films feel relevant, feel authentic, feel rooted. And I think it's because when you go on one of his sets, everything is so well-researched and has a reason. has a kind of historical background.

Everything has a function. Also, he designs these shots. You go to the rehearsal before you start the movie and the shots are already designed. And he tells you what they are and you have to fold yourself into them. And some actors may find that very oppressive. I don't at all. It's a beautiful structure. It gives you a container to live in. You don't have to think about certain things.

And when you do a Robert Eggers movie, there's a wealth of detail, and it's rooted in history and reasons already there. So you enter it, and the world works on you. And I love that.

I don't think about my own. I mean, I get the question. I do the research, and I learn things, and then I become engaged. What I imagine he may be thinking, because he's an occultist, he's an alchemist, he's interested in unseen things. You're correct, it's a Van Helsing type of character.

And when he's called in to help them with this problem of the plague and Ellen, the role played by Lily Rose Depp, her condition, he tries to make them understand the value of recognizing the shadow parts of life and also tries to tell them of factual evidence of evil.

So it was really to try to get in his thinking, I guess, and basically have the authority to pretend when I say these very specific things about the nature of Solomonari and vampire lore.

That's really sort of a Rob Eggers question, but I've been doing enough press with him. I can pretend I'm him for a moment. But basically, you know, this is a movie he saw when he was very young. And he was obsessed with it. Initially, he saw a video of it when he was nine years old. He did a play of Nosferatu when he was in high school. He's been thinking about it a long time.
