A cafeteria there also boasts a soft-serve ice cream product that Herzog describes as "disgusting" but which is very popular with the residents.

Of course, Herzog added that by the time the film had wrapped up production, "I was already horrible addicted to that vile concoction and still crave it sometimes."

Now 65, Herzog is keeping busy. He is already in preproduction on a follow-up film project based on the "Bad Lieutenant" concept.

"Just to set the record straight, I am not remaking that other movie. I have not even seen it," he said, referring the infamous 1992 thriller that starred Harvey Keitel as a corrupt, out-of-control New York City police detective.

Herzog also plans to team with the equally eccentric David Lynch for "My Son, My Son," a horror-thriller based on a real-life murder.

"As long as I continue to find stories that interest me, I will continue to make movies. And I have been very fortunate in that regard," he said.
