Second or third?

Regarding this being the "second" remake , whatever happened to that Doug Jones vehicle? BBC says it should have come out in 2016 but is locked in a vault somewhere? Thmazing (talk) 14:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have manually reverted the article back to claiming it is the second one. The Doug Jones movie was never released. And the article only jokingly referred to the film was being locked in a vault, merely noting that it hasn't been released. 2601:244:200:2680:BD04:F03C:6F1C:72A (talk) 22:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I discovered that the Doug Jones Nosferatu movie had its world premiere at the Emagine Novi theater in Novi, Michigan on November 11, 2023, per source: ^[1] CANthony0125 (talk) 19:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR about the Dacian language

@Preservedmoose: Your edit was reverted because it lacked a proper source and was original research, but despite these reasons, you continued your edit warring with an edit summary that can be described as "I don't care, Eggers is making it up. Source: trust me bro." Please add a proper source or it will be reverted again. ภץאคгöร 18:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of Ellen Page

In the Cast section, Lily Rose-Depp is cited as playing “Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Page: Described as a confused young woman who recently chose to pretend to be a male.“

this is of course inaccurate since the characters name is Ellen Hutter, and her story has nothing to do with pretending to be a man. looks to be a reference to Elliot Page, either a direct act of transphobia or an AI edit gone awry. 108.81.26.59 (talk) 22:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although the reference to Ellen page has nothing to do with the story, Ellen page is a female and not a male. The sentence was true and no matter what she will always be a female. 2601:840:4401:FB50:6C86:8E85:B611:271E (talk) 04:17, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Nothing to do with the story," you say? That makes it vandalism, period. CRBoyer 06:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Second paragraph of "Casting" under the "Production" section: change "Eggman" to "Eggers" 68.36.230.133 (talk) 06:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

somebody else already fixed it Rainsage (talk) 08:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Critical Response" section, David Lowery is misquoted as saying "joyfull". In the original article, which is cited after the quotation, he said "overjoyed". 68.36.230.133 (talk) 06:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Rainsage (talk) 08:21, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Box Office Returns

In the end of the summary section, it is mentioned that the film has made over 100 million worldwide. This is incorrect and contradicts other parts of the article. According to Box Office Mojo, the worldwide box office returns sit at 63.6 million as of 5th Jan 2024. Monzur7886 (talk) 13:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I fixed it. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Primary language

Please note Template:Infobox film language. The primary language should be listed in the Infobox. According to BBFC the primary language of this film is English. The film is not bilingual and does not contain significant amounts of other languages. This edit (diff) should be reverted. -- 109.78.198.183 (talk) 20:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that English is the film's primary language. The occasional use of other languages do not qualify them for inclusion. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 20:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing it but it is not about agreeing or disagreeing, it is not about this talk page discussion[1] it is simply per the Template documentation (which was presumably based on some discussion and past consensus). -- 109.78.198.183 (talk) 20:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Genre bloat

Please note WP:FILMGENRE, the lead section is supposed to try and stick to the primary genre, not list multiple genres.

Please also note WP:SHORTDESC which explains that the short description is supposed to be short. The purpose of the short description is to disambiguate similar titles, usually using the name of a key person, e.g. the author or filmmaker. The short description is not there to simply repeat the first line of the lead section, there is no need to list any genre in the short description.

Most of this edit (diff) should be manually reverted. -- 109.78.198.183 (talk) 20:42, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the lead sentence[2] I hope editors will also fix the short description (and next time they see this in other articles revert it there too). -- 109.78.198.183 (talk) 20:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Influences

Robert Eggers also took inspiration from the Bulgarian classic “Time of Violence” (1988):
