À propos de cet audio
This past week has been dense with milestones and appearances in the life of Willem Dafoe. First and foremost, Dafoe is set to receive the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo at the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival later this month, an accolade that recognizes his immense contributions to cinema across genres and continents. According to Variety, during the event he will host a sold-out masterclass, reflecting on his extraordinary career that includes four Oscar nominations and collaborations with directors from Wes Anderson to Martin Scorsese, all while continuing to shape the narrative of modern film artistry. Festival organizers have praised Dafoe for portraying intensely complex, unforgettable characters, whether in Hollywood blockbusters or independent gems. Fresh off his return to Sarajevo, Dafoe will premiere two new films this fall: Kent Jones’ Late Fame and Gastón Solnicki’s The Souffleur, before heading to Toronto for Nadia Latif’s The Man in My Basement, underlining his relentless festival circuit energy.
On the business and creative side, major headlines are coming out of England’s southwest where Universal Studios is beginning production on Werwulf, a historical thriller set in 13th-century Dartmoor. As reported by Torbay Weekly and AOL, Dafoe leads an A-list cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The film, led by director Robert Eggers, reunites creative partners from last year’s Oscar-nominated box office hit Nosferatu. Notably, the Dartmoor shoot is generating significant local buzz for its rare national park access and expected economic boost, and Dafoe’s involvement amplifies expectations for both the project and the region.
Turning to brand work, Dafoe’s versatility is evident in his latest collaboration with iconic director Tim Pope for a new Laphroaig whiskey campaign. Rolling Stone UK details how Dafoe, through the short film The Taste, brings theatrical gravitas and poetic humour to Pope’s whimsical direction, all while previewing a limited-release Dafoe co-created whisky set to arrive in 2026. The campaign is already being hailed as a celebration of individuality and creative risk-taking, two qualities synonymous with Dafoe’s career.
From the superhero realm, fans are buzzing after Disney+ announced that the Green Goblin will return prominently in a 2025 Marvel series. While the animated character will differ from Dafoe’s classic portrayal, The Direct reports that speculation is intensifying around another potential live-action Norman Osborn appearance in future Marvel projects. Social media discussion remains high, especially since Dafoe himself is not active online, with recent viral posts referencing his likeness in everyday encounters, but not by Dafoe personally.
