1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Erner Herzog has had a quietly pivotal week, the sort

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>of late career twist the biographers will circle in red ink.

3
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>At the Game Awards, he resurfaced not with a new

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>jungle epic, but is the deadpan face and voice of

5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 1>a free to play sci fi video game. Digital Extremes,

6
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the studio behind Warframe, announced that the OSCAR nominated director

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>appears in a new live action short as a mysterious

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 1>embodiment of a cosmic force called the Indifference, tasked with

9
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>answering the question what is Warframe? In the tone, only

10
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Herzog could manage a move the studio itself framed as

11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a cross industry event and a signal investment in his

12
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 1>persona as an elder statesman of existential storytelling. According to

13
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Digital Extremes official news release and coverage in GameSpot and

14
00:00:52.719 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Xbox Era, the spot aired globally during the show and

15
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>immediately ricocheted across gaming and film social media, with outlets

16
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>like GameSpot, Xbox Era, and the nerd Stash all running

17
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>variations on the same incredulous headline that war Frame had

18
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>turned to Werner Herzog to explain its labyrinthine lore. Emphasizing

19
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>how his gravelly narration and spectral presence turned a marketing

20
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>beat into a miniature Herzog film. Common threads and clips

21
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>on platforms such as x and Reddit leaned into the

22
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 1>mean potential, but also treated the casting as cannon, debating

23
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>whether he will continue as a recurring character in the game.

24
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 1>For now, there is no verified confirmation that he will

25
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>be a full time in game voice, and reports suggesting

26
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a larger roll should be treated as speculative. Away from

27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>the glare of the game awards, the Herzog ecosystem kept humming.

28
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>EU Cinema promoted a newly highlighted archival conversation final draft

29
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Werner Herzog on Film, resurfacing his twenty twelve visit and

30
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>reminding Cinophiles of the through line from Agiri to today,

31
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 1>as noted in EU Cinema's own write up on Letterboxed.

32
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>The Norton Simon Museum quietly pushed its upcoming screening of

33
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Agire The Wrath of God for early next year, a

34
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 1>programming note that underlines his continued status as a repertory

35
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>fixture and in the background, journalists are still referencing his

36
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>recent Venice master class and his in progress projects Ghost

37
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Elephants and Bucking Fasted. As reported by Variety giving this

38
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>week's Game Awards, Cameo the feel not of a novelty dig,

39
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>but of another Herzelgian expedition into strange new territory. And

40
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.919
