What Scares Werner Herzog? ‘Nothing – Period’ (Exclusive Video)
Legendary director Werner Herzog is known for his sometimes fanatical commitment to his films, including moving a 320-ton steamship over a hill in the Amazon for 1982’s “Fitzcarraldo” — and the way he puts his characters in some of the most extreme and dire situations imaginable (have you seen “Grizzly Man”?).
“Salt and Fire,” which stars Veronica Ferres, Gael Garcia Bernal and Oscar nominee Michael Shannon, opens tonight in Los Angeles.
Herzog said he decided not to film “Salt and Fire” there because logistics are difficult and most of the ships had been dismantled and moved to China to be sold as scrap metal.
