This is why 'The Lighthouse' director Robert Eggers insisted on filming in black and white.
Robert Eggers prefers the past. Which is a good thing when it comes to film promotion, which requires him to discuss the decisions that came before the accolades. And so far, the accolades have kept coming for the young director, who releases “The Lighthouse,” his much buzzed-about follow-up to his debut horror feature “The Witch,” this weekend.
“Willem and Rob didn’t have much of a relationship while they were shooting — that’s been well reported; now they’re chummy chummy chummy,” says Eggers, who has been making the promotional rounds with both actors since premiering the film at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Both actors are expected to buoy during the awards season run-up, with A24 campaigning for both actors.
“Certainly as a director you want to be working with people who are on the same page as you and that you can trust and get along with. As a second-time director you don’t want to be working with someone who’s a star that wants you to get down and kiss their feet,” says Eggers, who describes Dafoe as a hero of his prior to filming.
“Obviously I like silent movies and there are some things that played like a silent movie,” says Eggers. “Because of the nature of the story and the location, I always thought it would be a boxy aspect ratio, but Jarin suggested Movietone as a joke and I thought, you know, actually that’s a really great idea, because we are shooting these vertical objects like the lighthouse tower and these cramped enclosed spaces.
