New Wiseman Doc & Herzog Plays the Villain

Frederick Wiseman has a new film ready for release called Crazy Horse:

“Crazy Horse” documents the inner workings of the famed Parisian cabaret club The Crazy Horse. The documentary follows the rehearsals and performances for a new show called “Désirs,” staged by celebrated French choreographer Philippe Decouflé.

Wiseman has been preoccupied with dance lately. The film hits theaters in January. Check out this interview with him at the Toronto International Film Festival. He talks about choosing his subject, financing, distribution - all the good film geek stuff.



And Lord help us all: Werner Herzog is going to be starring in One Shot opposite Tom Cruise and he'll be playing the bad guy. Director/writer Christopher McQuarrie wrote The Usual Suspects so there's hope. We just need some good scenery-chewing dialogue that utilizes a Bavarian accent well and some non-linear/unreliable narrator action involving Rosamund Pike's clothing mysteriously falling off.
