Carole Baskin Louis Theroux

Louis Theroux has been pictured meeting Carole Baskin, over 10 years since filming with Joe Exotic.

The documentary filmmaker has returned to America to make a new feature-length film about theĀ Tiger King star, after meeting a decade ago when Theroux was makingĀ Americaā€™s Most Dangerous Pets.

Mindhouse Productions, Theroux’s production company, shared a photo of the filmmaker with Carole Baskin, Exotic’s nemesis and Big Cat Rescue CEO.

“At last! @louistheroux finally meets @carole_baskin, a decade since first filming with Joe Exotic,” the tweet reads. “A brand new documentary (with confirmed title) Louis Theroux: Shooting Joe Exotic. Coming soon to @BBCTwo and @BBCiPlayer.”

ā€œThis is one of those quintessentially American stories, taking place in the heartland of Oklahoma, with a cast of characters almost too colourful and larger-than-life to be believed,ā€ Louis Theroux said in a statement when the documentary was announced.

He continued: ā€œI spent eight or nine days filming at the park back in 2011, over the course of three separate visits. Iā€™d forgotten how much we shot until I went back into the footage during lockdown.

ā€œItā€™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.ā€







There is no release date confirmed yet for the Louis Theroux documentary, which is set to air on BBC Two.
