In December, we reported that Michael Shannon, Udo Kier and Willem Dafoe had joined the cast of Werner Herzog’s muderous horror drama, “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done.” Now ScreenDaily is reporting that Chloe Sevigny has joined the cast too as has Grace Zabriskie, a mainstay of David Lynch films (he’s executive producing).
As previously reported, ‘My Son’ is loosely based on the true story of a disturbed man who acts out a Sophocles-like play in his mind and kills his mother. The project was said to be low-budget and shot in a digital video guerrilla-style.
Herzog makes us excited with this new quote. “I always wanted to make a horror film, but not with bloody axes and chain-saws,” Herzog said, adding: “An anonymous fear should rather creep up at you.”
This could be amazing. We’re greatly looking forward to it. It’s weird to think that it kind of took until 2006’s “Rescue Dawn,” for Hollywood to finally catch up with the genius of Herzog. PS, while we’re at it, does anyone know the status of “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans“? Isn’t it supposed to come out this summer? We haven’t heard a peep in months, aside from Abel Ferrara continuing to shoot off his mouth on deaf ears.
