Thank you Bucking Fastard, the two sisters will finally be gathered in the cinema!

After the recent announcement of its first animated feature film, The Twilight World (based on his 2021 novel), the one who deeply marked cinema with Aguirre Or Nosferatu is not about to stop. With more than sixty films to his record (there are his productions), Werner Herzog returns with an original script, reveals Deadline. Bucking Fastard will bring together two American actresses who had never played together on the big screen: the Mara sisters.

Inspired by a true story, this feature film will tell the story of two English twins, Joan and Jean (inspired by the life of Freda and Greta Chaplin), considered rather strange. In addition to being identical, which is far from surprising for twins, they speak simultaneously. And we do not stop there since the two sisters will set their sights on their neighbor, who, seeing their obsession to develop him, was forced to claim justice of removal measures. Ready for diving in the 80s? The shooting should start in the spring and take place in Ireland and Slovenia.

Despite his love for the documentary, fromIn the country of silence and darkness (1971) at In the heart of volcanoes (2022), it is in the narrative genre, that the 82 -year -old man writes and makes his new film. In his book Everyone for oneself and God against all: Memoirs (2024), the writer-cineastic already confided his desire to share the history of these two twins in a feature film. His desire to tell their story is explained by the unique, almost phantasmagorical aspect of this affair. The title of his work also refers to a fault pronounced by the two sisters in a synchronous manner in the court. Werner Herzog met them. From speech to the gestures through the way of dressing, the two women acted exactly in the same way, he confides in his book.

An intrigue and a size cast that promises to surprise more than one. See you in 2026…
