Often hailed as one of the most innovative filmmakers of all time, Werner Herzog, known for Grizzly Man and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, recently shared his viewpoint on Margot Robbie’s Barbie. Last summer, Barbenheimer broke the internet, as both Oppenheimer and Barbie went on to become commercial and critical successes, with the latter becoming the biggest film of the year.
However, the acclaimed filmmaker revealed that he had yet to watch Oppenheimer, but he did watch the opening 30 minutes of Barbie, and Herzog didn’t seem too keen about his experience.

Werner Herzog may have not gotten through all of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, but the legendary filmmaker didn’t seem too keen on the part he did watch.
During a recent appearance on the show Piers Morgan: Uncensored, the host asked Herzog if he was Team Barbie or Team Oppenheimer — the two films that led the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon last summer.
“I have not seen Oppenheimer yet, but I will do it,” the director admitted. “Barbie, I managed to see the first half hour, and I was curious. I wanted to watch it because I was curious. And I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion. Could it be that the world of Barbie is sheer hell?”
He added, “For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell, as close as it gets.”

Werner Herzog has traveled to the ends of the earth for his art, rolling cameras in places rarely seen by human eyes — from rapids along the Amazon River for 1972’s “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” to the rim of an active volcano in Antarctica. But what’s inside Herzog’s head is what fascinates fans of the German director.
As revealed in a new memoir, “Every Man for Himself and God Against All” (the phrase served as the original title of his 1974 film “The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser”), Herzog’s far-ranging filmography represents only a fraction of the encounters and adventures that have shaped his worldview.
The book came easily, or so he insists as we huddle in a quiet corner of the Montrose airport in Colorado, following the Telluride Film Festival, where he’s been a fixture for nearly all of the last 50 years.
“It could have been five times as long,...

The offbeat art house film merges with the old-fashioned Hollywood epic in Werner Herzog’s astonishing Aguirre, the Wrath of God (accent on “wrath”). Filmed under punishing conditions in the Peruvian jungle, Herzog upped the pain quotient by casting the unruly Klaus Kinski as the mad conquistador Lope de Aguirre—the legendary battles between director and actor were epic too.
The post Aguirre, the Wrath of God appeared first on Trailers From Hell.

Exclusive: Starzplay has cast Tessa Ía (De Brutas), Martín Saracho (Who Killed Sara?), and Lizeth Selene (Rebelde) as the leads for the Spanish-language dramedy series Yellow (w/t). Production officially kicked off on the project in Mexico City on Thursday.
Ía will portray “Dan” who is described as someone who is extremely competitive and who thinks winning by cheating is worth twice as much. Dan finds “Nico”, played by Selene, to be her impossible love. Nico is described as sincere to the point of being abrasive, someone who has the heart of a child, and who lives without constraints.
Saracho will play Richie, a failed former Formula 1 driver whose promising career ended after a catastrophic accident forced him to stop racing and is now a taxi driver.
From Sofía Auza and Silviana Aguirre, Yellow tells the story of Dan and Nico, two female fugitives who steal a stick-shift taxi to escape from the authorities.
