Great interview! And a movie review that does the near-impossible: actually makes me interested in a western with Sam Shepard. Tangentially related to the "Germans love Westerns" thing: when I was in college around 1990, a lot of my friends were German, and a lot of them had this weird fixation on "The Waltons." Apparently it was huge among kids in Germany at the time, and they'd send screenshots and promotional stuff that was easier to find in the US back to their friends at home to make T-shirts and such.

You asked all the questions I would have asked about Die Westen. Thank you! So awesome.

That was a nice interview - you got WW to be personable. But he appears to be wrong about Zoetrope moving to LA: http://www.zoetrope.com/zoe_films.cgi?page=history
