News: David Lynch and Werner Herzog's "Son"

David Lynch, Werner Herzog

It'd probably be funny if David Lynch and Werner Herzog creating a film together resulted in a Sandra Bullock romantic comedy called "Remember to Love" or something that would rake in massive box office recepits, just for the irony.

According to THR, what they are actually doing together is creating a low-budget guerilla-style film called My Son, which is loosely based on a true story about a man playing out a Sophocles tragedy in his mind and winds up killing his mother with a sword. Yeah, that's about twisted enough for these guys.

In other Herzog news, he's now lent an air of legitimacy to Nicolas Cage's Bad Lieutenant remake by signing on to direct it.

In other Lynch news, his production company brought in Asia Argento and the great Udo Kier to star alongside Nick Nolte and Marilyn Manson in Alejandro Jodorowsky's "metaphysical gangster movie" called King Shot, which is blowing through the hard R and going right to the NC-17 realm with its copious sex and violence.
