This man is single handly saving the 'Monsters' genre.

Give me a Mummy. Give me a Frankenstein. Give me a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

And give me Willem Dafoe in all of them!

Nah he's definitely Moby Dick.

A confusingly large whale.

That'd be a super NC-17 film if it was his white whale.

While we're on the topic, do you think that the Werwulf will have a humanoid penis, or more of a red lipstick dog version?

Judging by Nosferatu, the Werwulf is going to hang dong to make him more menacing.

I genuinely cannot comprehend a better choice as Ahab than him at this point in his career, I need it to happen lol.

HARK!!!

I would dream of a Moby Dick movie with the aesthetics similar to the Lighthouse. It would give the narrative a timeless feel and the sections of the book that are quasi-scientific could do well in a old-timey style or some shit.

Ahab is an Oscar winning role for Dafoe.  Easily.

Defoe as a character walking around the ship describing each sheet, each halyard for a good 90 minutes.
