Overview
- La Biennale di Venezia has placed Bucking Fastard in the festival’s main competition, confirming the film will premiere as part of the Venice lineup.
- HanWay Films released an early clip that shows Kate and Rooney Mara as sisters who speak in unison while testifying in a criminal trial.
- The project reunites Werner Herzog as writer-director with longtime cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger and features Orlando Bloom and Domhnall Gleeson in supporting roles.
- The film is slated to world-premiere at Venice in September, but an exact premiere date and a full trailer have not yet been announced.
- Bucking Fastard is Herzog’s first narrative feature since 2019 and its unusual sibling conceit and festival placement position it as an auteur-driven title for critics and buyers to watch.
