My friend and I turned to each simultaneously when Werner Herzog's name flashed on it and were just like WTF??!?!

I mean Herzog has made tons of bad movies (hello Invincible!) but the preview just seemed so conventionally awful. I mean it was showing before Rocky 7 for chrissake.

Here's the New Yorker article: http://thewernerhrzogarchive.blogspot.com/2006/05/ecstatic-truth-werner-herzogs-quest.html

Clearly they're trying to make this look like an action film, cuz that's what the producer wanted. I'm not believing the hype yet.
Though, yes, Invincible were purty bad.

I loved Invincible!

This could be fun. I mean, Steve Zahn in a Herzog movie! Come on.

that article is great. i'd see it just to see the results of a herzog/hollywood collaboration.

is wild blue yonder any good?

it's nice that M83 was used in a movie trailer. always thought their music had the perfect quality for it. too bad it's for such a shitty looking movie.
