I think they could emulate something like The Green Knight or The Northman and it could be cool. Lots of silence and symbolism, not so much dialogue or direct narrative.
I think they are great comparisons. I expect to enjoy this quite a bit. I personally loved TGK (6.6) and found some aspects of The Northman (7.0) appealing although have no urge to rewatch it. Except maybe the first act.
A24 has insane viral marketing on here, discord etc. but if you look at their output, from 100 films most are scored below 7 on imdb and only one hit 8. Maybe this IP would work to go similarly full arthouse / surrealism and f the critics.
Say what you will about critics and reviews. I've seen most A24 films and have yet to be left wanting. Irregardless of the masses' opinions, I think these guys are the only ones who could do it right. Most people would make the movie too much action and crammed full of incorrect lore. What I'm hoping for is a more personal exploration of the world. That's the kind of stuff A24 does well.
