‘Fordlandia’: Get Ready For A Werner Herzog TV Show
By Chris Evangelista/June 16, 2018 12:00 pm EST
Filmmaker Werner Herzog is known the world over, both for his provocative films and documentaries, and for his gloomy-yet-charming personality. He’s a legend. And now he’s bringing his talents to the medium of television. Herzog will work with Hyde Park Entertainment to adapt Greg Grandin’s award-winning book Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford’s Forgotten Jungle City into a TV series.
Of course, one could also look at the story of Ford and see parallels to current events. Priya Amritraj, Hydepark Entertainment CEO, certainly does. “Fordlandia is an incredible true story and we are thrilled to be working with Werner, one of the world’s most iconic filmmakers, and Chris, a truly exceptional writer,” Amritraj said. “The story of a tycoon with absolute power imposing his vision of America on the world is extremely relevant today.”
There’s no word yet when and where Fordlandia will air, so in the meantime, please enjoy this video.
