What exactly inspired this project, I have no idea, but it’s exactly what it sounds like. Werner Herzog discusses the intricacies of Where’s Waldo with his fabulous accent, that can make absolutely anything sound menacing, even a children’s picture book.
Who knew Waldo was filled with so many philosophical questions. Who is Waldo? Why is he running? Is he being stalked by a Wizard? All these and more are covered in the video below.
And yes, to answer your question, Where’s Waldo HAS already been auctioned off for a future film. Feel free to speculate on what exactly that will consist of, and who will play Waldo. If I had to guess, I’d say Will Ferrell. All I know is that Werner Herzog should narrate.
