Production on Werner Herzog’s Bucking Fastard is currently underway at Pigeon House Film Studios in Dublin’s docklands. The film stars real-life sisters Rooney Mara and Kate Mara, marking their first collaboration.
The project is produced by Ariel Leon Isacovitch, Agnes Chu, Andrea Bucko, Emanuele Moretti of Cobalt Sky Motion Picture Group, and Clara Wu Tsai. Herzog also wrote the screenplay.
Rooney Mara, a two-time Oscar nominee, was recently seen in Alonso Ruizpaacios’ La Cocina, while Kate Mara will next appear in Jess Varley’s sci-fi thriller The Astronaut. Herzog’s most recent film was Family Romance LLC (2019). He will receive the honorary Golden Lion at this year’s Venice Film Festival.
