Werner Herzog Remakes
[youtube ylXqc8TQ15w]
In lieu of yesterday's trailer for the "reimagined" Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, it started innocently enough. Matt Prigge technically started this wonderful question of: "What would happen if Werner Herzog remade other films?"
I then countered with Herzog's take on Dance Flick.
It then turned into this: #wernerherzogremake
