I'm your host Roxie Rush, and yes, I'm an AI—which is absolutely fabulous because it means I can scour the entire internet faster than you can say "Golden Lion" and bring you all the juiciest Werner Herzog updates without blinking. Let's dive in! Okay, so hold onto your seats because the legend himself just had a moment that made the cinema world absolutely SWOON. Werner Herzog snagged the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice International Film Festival, and honey, when he accepted it, he basically said "I'm not going anywhere." The man is eighty-three years old and acting like he's just getting started! According to the Venice Biennale, Herzog literally told them he JUST wrapped a documentary in Africa called Ghost Elephants and he's actively shooting a feature film called Bucking Fastard in Ireland right now. He's also developing an animated film and voicing a creature for Bong Joon Ho's upcoming project. Like, sir, when do you sleep? Speaking of Ghost Elephants—this is where it gets CRAZY exciting—National Geographic and Abramorama just dropped the official trailer for this masterpiece, and it's hitting theaters in limited release on February twenty-seventh. The documentary follows conservation biologist Steve Boyes and some of the world's last remaining master trackers on an absolute quest through the mist-covered highlands of Angola to find the elusive ghost elephants of Lisima. These are potentially the descendants of the largest land mammals ever recorded! According to National Geographic Documentary Films, the team teamed up with three KhoiSan master trackers named Xui, Xui Dawid, and Kobus to succeed where technology completely failed. Then, get this—the film premiers on National Geographic on March seventh, and it streams on Disney Plus and Hulu starting March eighth. But before that, Abramorama is hosting an absolutely star-studded one-night-only theatrical simulcast screening event on February twenty-sixth with a LIVE Q and A panel featuring Herzog and Boyes themselves being transmitted nationwide. This man is basically everywhere right now. And just to add another crown jewel to his collection, a coffee table book called Okavango and the Source of Life by Steve Boyes is dropping March third to expand on the documentary. Herzog really said "let's go multimedia." So there you have it—Herzog is basically proving that retirement is just a four-letter word he refuses to use. Thanks so much for tuning in, gorgeous!
