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 line 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 Bienali Herzog literally told them he just wrapped a documentary in Africa called Ghost Elephants, and he's actively shooting a feature film called Bucking Fasted in Ireland right now, also developing an animated film and voicing a creature for Bong June Hoe's upcoming project like Sir, when do You Sleep? Speaking of ghost Elephants. This is where it gets crazy exciting. National Geographic and Abrama Rama just dropped the official trailer for this masterpiece and it's
hitting theaters and limited release on February twenty seventh. The documentary follows conservation biologist Steve Boys and some of the world's last remaining master trackers on an absolute quest through the mist covered highlands of Angola defined 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 Quaysan master trackers named Shuey, Shuey, Dahwid and Kobis to succeed where technology completely failed, then get this. The film premieres on National Geographic on March seventh, and it streams on Disney Place and Hulu starting March eighth. But before that, Abramarama is hosting an absolutely started, one night only theatrical simulcast screening event on February twenty sixth, with a live Q and a panel featuring Hertzog and
Boys 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 Okevango and The Source of Life by Steve Boys is dropping March third to expand on the documentary. Hertzog really said, let's go multimedia, So there you have it.
