74-year-old German filmmaker and cult icon Werner Herzog’s (Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht) latest film, the dark eco-thriller Salt and Fire, has been picked up for U.S. distribution by XLrator Media. The news comes days before the film’s North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Salt and Fire stars Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire and Herzog’s eerie David Lynch collaboration My Son, My Son, What Have ye Done), Veronica Ferres (Hector and the Search For Happiness), and Gael Garcia Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle). XLrator Media will release the film in theaters in Spring 2017.
