Werner Herzog discusses his new film, “Bucking Fastard,” ahead of its Venice Film Festival premiere, where the director and cast attend a press conference. Kate and Rooney Mara star as Jean and Joan Holbrooke, sisters whose relationship is portrayed as unusually close, with a strong emotional and eerie bond. The event includes co-stars Domhnall Gleeson and Orlando Bloom.
Multiple outlets report Herzog’s remarks about the film’s dedication to David Lynch and his on-set recollections involving Bloom. Herzog explains a “touching” reason for the dedication, while Deadline also reports a separate anecdote about Bloom being upset during production after a scene was captured in one take. The accounts focus on Herzog’s commentary rather than plot details, reflecting differing angles: one emphasizes the dedication’s motivation, while the other highlights a specific set incident.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core details of the Venice appearance, the film’s leading cast, and Herzog’s public storytelling about production and dedication, with emphasis varying between the dedication and the behind-the-scenes moment involving Bloom.
