Werner Herzog in Thomas von Steinaecker, Werner Herzog: Radical Dreamer, 2022

A photograph shows Mick Jagger, Werner Herzog, Claudia Cardinale, and Jason Robards on the set of the first filming of Fitzcarraldo

I hadn’t known that Herzog’s had originally cast Jason Robards and Mick Jagger in Fitzcarraldo (1982).

I can see Jagger in it, but to imagine anyone but Klaus Kinski as Fitzcarraldo feels unthinkable. Thankfully, fate intervened.
