Wow ... the Sundance success of
Grizzly Man must have bought
Werner Herzog a ton of new clout. He's remaking his 1977 documentary,
Little Dieter Needs to Fly, as an independent feature, and he's somehow convinced Christian Bale and
Steve Zahn, two actors most recently seen in big summer films, to star. Bale will play the title character, a U.S. fighter pilot who was shot down over Laos during Vietnam; Zahn will play the fellow POW with whom he plans an escape. Shooting begins in Thailand next month - right around the time
Grizzly Man hits US theaters.
