Despite the fact that he will soon appear in a new Jon Favreau series set in the Star Wars universe, my father, director Werner Herzog has never seen a Jon Favreau film, a Star War, or pretty much any other movie. Here is a list of the things Herzog has seen: The (not Favreau-directed) Lion King, poetry from Greek antiquity, Wrestlemania, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Herzog says that he believes one of the reasons Favreau chose him for a part in the upcomingseries is because Favreau’s series is “a bit of an homage to my films and to my storytelling and to my way of putting emphasis on world stories.” However, though Favreau has seen Herzog’s movies, the appreciation has heretofore not been mutual. When asked if he felt pressure to perform given Favreau’s recent string of box office success, Herzog replied, “I do not know what other films he has made.
But Favreau should not take Herzog’s failure to see his films personally. By his estimation, he has time for about four films a year at the outside. Mostly, Herzog reads, but when he does carve time for popular culture, Herzog is a man of the people:...You have to know what a good amount of the population is watching. Do not underestimate the Kardashians. As vulgar as they may be, it doesn’t matter that much, but you have to find some sort of orientation.
Could someone please go ahead and put the audio of that comment over footage of albino alligators and get it submitted to the Academy?
