Here's Why Neil Patrick Harris isn't Gay in 'Harold & Kumar Christmas'

Should you be taken aback if this was introduced that acclaimed director Werner Herzog would take part in the villain within the next Tom Cruise movie, 'One Shot,' you are only some of the one. Obviously, that possible trepidation does not extend the director themself. Stated Herzog to Movieline, the main reason he was hired to begin with was because he's "good." "I am fairly good being an actor if this involves roles of hostile or harmful men, or violent and debased and dysfunctional figures," Herzog told S.T. VanAirsdale. "Not to mention, as this is a large Hollywood film, they've analyzed my performance in other films. So I wasn't involved with any casting I had been just asked." Tight on why he was "asked," Herzog did not make use of any modesty: "Because I am good! The thing is, if this involves an costly film, you cannot fuss making a selection of someone who is actually a filmmaker. If you're bad being an actor, it might really damage the film. So that they apparently required a really critical look -- I am talking about, the director, producer, Tom Cruise -- they required a great take a look at things i am onscreen being an actor." Starring Cruise and Herzog, 'One Shot' -- in the ninth novel in Lee Child's Jack Reacher series -- is within production now. [via Movieline] [Photo: WireImage]
