Werner Herzog Filming The Enigma of Loch Ness
Variety.com, July 1, 2003.

Two documentary crews will converge in the Scottish Highlands this month when German filmmaker Werner Herzog begins shooting his next feature, The Enigma of Loch Ness.

Herzog's film will examine the mystery of Nessie, the sea monster reported to inhabit the Scottish lake.

Screenwriter Zak Penn (Behind Enemy Lines) has secured the financing and will produce "Enigma" through his company, Zak Penn's Company.

Cinematographer and director John Bailey will also be on hand, shooting Herzog in Wonderland, a documentary that's already in production. Hans Zimmer and Jay Rifkin's Media Ventures Pictures is financing Bailey's film, with Robert Green and Rifkin producing.

Herzog is also developing a feature for Media Ventures, Little Dieter Needs to Fly. Christian Bale is attached to star in the film, based on Herzog's 1997 documentary of the same name.
