Real-life sisters Kate and Rooney Mara star together for the first time in Bucking Fastard (2026), a dramatic feature film written and directed by legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog. The psychological drama follows Jean and Joan Holbrooke, inseparable sisters who share an uncanny, deeply intertwined bond where they dress identically, speak entirely in unison, share the same dreams, and eventually fall in love with the same man. The film's unique title, Bucking Fastard, stems from a synchronized verbal slip-of-the-tongue the sisters make simultaneously during a criminal trial. Herzog's script draws heavy inspiration from the real-life Freda and Greta Chaplin, identical British twins who gained international media attention in the 1980s for their perfectly synchronized speech, identical movements, and a joint harassment trial involving a shared romantic obsession. Filmed on location across Ireland and Slovenia, the production features a stellar supporting cast including Orlando Bloom as the sisters' shared ex-lover and Domhnall Gleeson as a government social worker assigned to their unusual case. The highly anticipated movie is scheduled to make its official world premiere in competition for the prestigious Golden Lion at the 2026 Venice Film Festival.
