Quote

I'm not a citizen of America, I cannot vote. But it is fascinating because there's a new kind of protagonist out there that we didn't expect. By the way, I'm not in any panic at all.

It's not far-fetched that almost everywhere in the world where you have volcanoes you have mythologies or new gods being created.
Werner Herzog
Image
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.

I don't dabble, I'm good at acting.

Well, it had to be about the stories and the people who live under the volcano, what kind of new gods do they create? What sort of demons? And of course North Korea falls clearly into this category since the socialist revolution at the end of the Second World War. Somehow they adopted the myth of the power and dynamics of their volcano.

Image
If the part is really good of course I would like to do it.

I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.

Ten years ago in Antarctica shooting Encounters at the End of the World, I met a very fine volcanologist from Cambridge University [Clive Oppenheimer] and we kept talking about doing a film and all of a sudden it became serious when he hinted at the possibility to film in North Korea.

I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.

ِِِِِِِِِِArt house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.

Most of the volcanoes are pretty far away. You have to go to, God knows, Alaska. Or you have to go to the Southern Indies or you have to go to a specific island.
Werner Herzog
Image
The universe couldn't care less about us. I say this very clearly in the film [ Into the Inferno]: our planet is indifferent to scurrying roaches, retarded reptiles and vapid humans alike.

There's this kind of strange mythology about me in the media because I've done unusual things.
