Tiger King: Joe Exotic Getting New Documentary From Louis Theroux Tiger King: Murder, Madness, and Mayhem, but famed BBC documentarian Louis Theroux previously chronicled the figure back in 2011, with the BBC confirming that Theroux is developing an all-new feature-length documentary exploring the figure, per The Hollywood Reporter. The project, which is currently titled "Louis Theroux: The Cult of Joe Exotic," will revisit the various events that have unfolded in the world of exotic-animal ownership in the decade since he last chronicled Exotic, in addition to depicting the fandom that Exotic has earned in the time since his incarceration. "This is one of those quintessentially American stories, taking place in the heartland of Oklahoma, with a cast of characters almost too colorful and larger-than-life to be believed," Theroux shared in a statement. "I spent eight or nine days filming at the park back in 2011, over the course of three separate visits. I’d forgotten how much we shot until I went back into the footage during lockdown. It’s extraordinary how much was there. Since then the story just got stranger and bigger, and in going back at the end of last year I uncovered a real-life drama that took me in directions I never could have expected."
