Found in: Movies, NewsWerner Herzog and Nicolas Cage to update Bad Lieutenant
At this point, legendary German director Werner Herzog has become the Bill Brasky of the film world. Tales about Herzog are always tall, but never exaggerated: Werner Herzog once cooked and ate his own shoe after losing a bet. Werner Herzog once was shot during an interview, and continued on with the interview. Werner Herzog once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him there was a stripper in it.
