The Witch breakout Robert Eggers is reteaming with leading genre production company A24 for The Lighthouse, a fantasy horror film that Eggers wrote and will direct.
We learned last week that Willem Dafoe will star, and THR adds today that Robert Pattinson has also come aboard.
Shooting is set to begin this Spring.
The film is about an aging lighthouse keeper, and Dafoe is in talks to play that character, named Old. It takes place in Nova Scotia in the early 20th century.
Rodrigo Teixeira and Lourenço Sant’ Anna will produce via their Brazil-based RT Features. Parts & Labor’s Jay Van Hoy and Youree Henley will also produce.
