Werner Herzog and David Lynch are teaming for My Son, My Son, a horror-tinged murder drama based on a true story. Herzog and his longtime assistant director Herbert Golder co-wrote "Son," loosely based on the true story of a San Diego man who acts out a Sophocles play in his mind and kills his mother with a sword. The low-budget feature will flash back and forth from the murder scene to the disturbed man's story. A guerrilla-style digital video shoot on Coronado Island is tentatively set for March. Herzog, repped by Gersh, is having a busy 2008. He was set to film "Son" in the summer but postponed it to direct Nicolas Cage in a remake of Abel Ferrara's "Bad Lieutenant" starting in July. In the fall, he will shoot the Victorian-era drama "The Piano Tuner" for Focus Features.
I fucking hate Herzog. Rescue Dawn was the only bad Christian Bale flick that I have ever seen/that exists.
A few gripes about this news:
1) WTF does Lynch have to do with any of this. How is he "teaming up" with Herzog? I call shenanigans.
2) Herzog is remaking Bad Lieutenant? *shakes head in disgust*
3) Fuck Werner Herzog.
muffin7 u need to die. HERZOG is one of the last real filmmakers left. Guaranteed you've seen none of his movies. Stick to the SAW sequels muffin7. and Christian Bale's worst film?? Apparently you missed THE MACHINIST.
