Cast
[edit]Production
[edit]Referring to unrealized projects in a chapter of his 2022 memoir Every Man for Himself and God Against All, filmmaker Werner Herzog mentioned the film as being about British identical twin sisters Freda and Greta Chaplin, who gained notoriety in the 1980s for having a restraining order put on them by a man they both become involved with. The title, Bucking Fastard, refers to a synchronized verbal slip the sisters made in court.[1] In February 2025, it was announced that Herzog would make a film under the same name based on a true story about twins Joan and Jean, with real-life siblings Kate and Rooney Mara on board to star. It would be the sisters' first project together.[2] Principal photography began in April 2025, in Ireland and Slovenia.[3]
