Robert Eggers has claimed the idea of making a contemporary movie makes him "ill".
The 41-year-old filmmaker, whose previous works have covered New England in the 1630s and 1890s, with 'The Witch' and 'The Lighthouse' respectively, the Viking era with 'The Northman' and 1830s Transylvania with latest offering 'Nosferatu', can't bear the idea of having to film modern inventions such as cars and mobile phones.
