Werner Herzog News

Werner Herzog is unquestionably one of cinema's greatest treasures. His narrative feature film work is the stuff of legend, his instincts as a documentarian are at once singular and addicting.

Over the last decade, the storied and prolific German filmmaker Werner Herzog has established himself not only as the intellect behind popular documentaries like Grizzly Man and Cave of Forgotten Dreams , but also as an entertaining, humorous presence.

If there was an Oscar for most bizarre news of the year, surely this would be a shoo-in for a nomination.

In a rare move, director Werner Herzog will step from behind the camera to play the villain in One Shot , the Paramount-Skydance productions drama that stars Tom Cruise .
