I hope someone's doing a doc on the making of this. Those two would be hilarious together.

No kidding! Imagine being on that set! If only Klaus Kinski were alive to star in this film.

They must have done this after everyone started banging there heads into inanimate objects about Cage/Herzog in Bad Lieutenant.

And what part does Lynch have in this if Herzog is writing/directing? I think the article is missing a paragraph or something...

Exactly. I hope Lynch will have some creative input and not just do a "David Lynch Presents" sort of thing.

This film could easily be one of the most seriously awesome things ever. I'm drooling all over my keyboard just contemplating the possibilities.

You should never be allowed to write about film again. "two titans of indie cinema"? What the hell is wrong with you?

EmmG389 on 05-15-2008 03:05 PM

YES, Mother F-ckers!!! Even though all of Lynch's movies can be considered horror films in some way.

EmmG389 on 05-15-2008 03:08 PM

Yes. Yes. Yes. I liked some of Grindhouse, but these guys are a hell of a lot more talented than Tarantino and Rodriguez. I want this movie out now.

BRILLIANT!!! Absolutely awesome. Can't wait to see it.

*Yawn* is it over yet?

OMG CAN'T WAIT, THIS IS GOD'S GIFT TO THE WORLD OF FILM

Relax people.

Lynch is brilliant. Herzog is brilliant. But if you combine their skills that doesn't necessarily guarantee a masterpiece. While you might be panting for their respective wonder twins' powers to activate...combined you might end up with a mess. Think it can't happen? I give you Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's combined 'skills': Rumer Willis.

/Yep. One window seat please for trip to hell for the Rumer Willis remark.
/Massive Lynch/Herzog fan...will remain dubious on their 'pairing'.

It can't come quick enough.

I'm sold. I'll try not to expect TOO much...But this sounds great!

Pilgermann on 05-15-2008 11:24 PM

If my head could explode out of joy, then it would've done just that.

What role does Lynch have in this? seems like Herzog is doing it all. also why March of 09? that is really specific for some date way off in the future. I hate when you find out news for something way in advance for release, but this is way in advance for even making. So the wait will be even longer. Still this sounds really cool and like something I am sure everyone is already directing in their own imaginations as we speak. I know I am.
