Werner Herzog will both write the script and direct “Bucking Fastard”. It is planned that filming will begin in Ireland and Slovenia in spring. Rooney and Kate Mara then play the twin sisters Joan and Jean.
The story is based on the life of Freda and Greta Chaplin. The story was already as documentation Published in 1988: The twin sisters, who at the same time say the same and dress exactly the same, ended up in court because of “inappropriate sexual behavior”. “Bucking Fastdard” probably fell in court as a quote. In addition, “Bucking Fastdard” is a shaking rhyme from “Fucking Bastard”.
Kate and Rooney Mara have been working as actresses for over twenty years. Kate Mara is mainly known about the political drama series “House of Cards”.

With her representation in “Carol” she was nominated for an Oscar. Most recently she was seen in the historical drama “Women Talking”.

New chapter in the great work of Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog is one of the workaholics in the film industry. It hardly goes by in which a film does not appear. His work commutes between documentary films (“Grizzly Man”), Biographies (“Queen of the Desert”), Genre films (“Bad Lieutnant”) and Klaus Kinski.
As a quirky personality, he has long since become a trademark in Hollywood, and he was also granted an appearance with the “Simpsons”. Again and again he appears briefly as an actor, for example in “Jack Reacher” and the television series “The Mandalorian”.
