Heavy Metal Auteur T-Shirts and The Grand trailer


These totally awesome t-shirts from CineFile video in Los Angeles feature the names of European film directors designed to look like the logos of famous heavy metal bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden. The Fassbinder one is pretty cool, but my personal favorite is the Werner Herzog/Danzig design:


Check them all out here.

In other Herzog news, the first trailer for Zak Penn's The Grand has finally shown up online. Penn directed Herzog in the absurdly funny Incident at Loch Ness, and this film features Herzog as "the scary German." Evidently, the majority of the film was improvised, with the actors playing an actual poker tournament and letting the script write itself along the way. Sounds like an interesting idea, and I for one cannot resist any film that features both Werner Herzog and Woody Harrelson.

YouTube link seems to be broken, but you can still check it out HERE. Looks like it will be a lot of fun.
