Above is a MPAA rejected poster (because apparently your not allowed to hold a gun pointed against someone in a poster) for the crazy looking Werner Herzog movie Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, a movie that I said 15 months ago was the first American film from the 90's to be remade by Hollywood, but it turns out with heinsight is really just an odd spiritual sequel/re-imagining of the 1992 flick, set in a different city.

But that's all just semantics isn't it?

Anyway, I just wanted to bring attention to how messed up that poster is, and how playing a cop who points a gun at a black hospital nurse and a helpless old lady, truly fits the insane career path that Nicolas Cage has gone down in the past six years or so. I can't remember the last time I felt comfortable watching him on screen, and not reverberating a muffled "HUH" with bug-eyed shock at just what he was projecting on screen.

The movie recently played at the Telluride Film Festival, where Todd McCarthy of Variety said that there's...
"...sort of deadpan zaniness, stemming from a steadfast conviction in its own absurdity, that gives "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An increasingly heavier Val Kilmer has joined the cast of Werner Herzog's remake but not a remake of the Harvey Keitel early 90's thriller Bad Lieutenant.

He will play partner to Nicolas Cage, a cop on the edge who is investigating the drug-related murder of five Senegalese illegal immigrants. Eva Mendes joined the cast last month.

The Hollywood Reporter also kindly tell us that rapper Xzibit who can next be seen in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, will play one of the bad guys, Big Fade.

Other castings include Brad Dourif, Jennifer Coolidge, Denzel Whitaker and more!

The movie is expected to shoot this summer and is a Nu Image/Millennium Films production. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Werner Herzog has truly gone crazy with his upcoming Bad Lieutenant. Not sufficed with casting the least interesting A-list Hollywood star around as his lead but now he has gone out and offered a part to Eva Mendes, with whom said actor Nicolas Cage struggled to generate even a spark of chemistry with in Ghost Rider.

This comes just a week or two after Herzog claimed his version of Bad Lieutenant wasn't a remake which is an outright lie as far as I'm concerned because the Harvey Keitel original was not based on a book or any other form of source material, so if you are borrowing the title and basic concept of the film then no matter how different it may be... it is still a remake.

Cage knows this more than most. His embarrassing turn in The Wicker Man in 2006 was a remake despite the big changes to the plot, tone and narrative.

So it's Eva Mendes then, as long as she accepts the role for the Nu Image/Millennium Production which shoots late summer. Herzog, quite remarkably, got a stunning performance out of limited comedic actor Steve Zahn in the brilliant Rescue Dawn - but he has now given himself ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comparing his upcoming police thriller Bad Lieutenant with the Bond series, master director Werner Herzog tells Coming Soon that fans of the original Harvey Keitel movie of the same name need not worry.

It's not Herzog's intention to rape the original, as his movie is not in fact a remake - as like the 007 films, it will just have character traits from the previous film and won't be exactly the same.


"No, it's not a remake," he told us quite adamantly. "You have to delete that from your memory, though we may not be able to delete it from public perception. It's like I keep saying, 'A James Bond film, the newest one, is not a remake of the previous one; it's a completely different story.' It only has a corrupt policeman as the central character and that's about it."
He goes to on to say that he was handpicked for the film by Nicolas Cage and was flattered when the actor came to him with the project. Production is expected to begin soon on the project.

Ok so it's not a remake... then my question is why take the name of the original movie? Why not call it something different and just ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Cannes where the remake of the Harvey Keitel thriller Bad Lieutenant, believed by me to be the first Hollywood and English language film from the 90's to ever be remade (let's hope it does not start a trend) and shockingly by the master that is Werner Herzog - comes our first teaser poster.

The film will star Nicolas Cage as a corrupt New York City police detective Terence McDonough investigated the drug-related murder of five Senegalese illegal immigrants. It's Cage third remake in a short period after The Wicker Man and the upcoming Bangkok Dangerous.

The script comes from frequent t.v. scribe William M. Finkelstein (Law &#38; Order, Murder One).

It's a very early teaser poster, only churned out to try and win some buyers for the film at Cannes but having said that we have to review only on what it looks like - and that's a STV thriller.

This will be Herzog's next movie after the quite magnificent Rescue Dawn and it should be out next year.

		<description><![CDATA[Werner Herzog, the genius German director who doesn't so much grow with every movie he makes but instead sticks to the incredibly high level he set himself to some decades ago and never seems to have a dip in form.

He is Mr. Consistent. He puts out nothing less than a four star movie each and every time he picks up the camera.

BUT, having said that... he is giving himself a challenge here.

The word has leaked from Variety that Herzog will remake the 1992 thriller Bad Lieutenant -  a no-holds barred NC-17 movie (looks a little Taxi Driver-ish) made at the height of a resurgence in the career of it's lead Harvey Keitel shortly after Reservoir Dogs and before his Academy Award friendly turn in The Piano.

Herzog will be remaking the movie with Nicolas Cage and production will begin in the summer...
Edward R. Pressman producing and Avi Lerner's Nu Image/Millenium Films financing.

The original film, also produced by Pressman, starred Harvey Keitel and was directed by Abel Ferrara from a screenplay by Ferrara and Zoe Lund. That film received an NC-17 rating with the depraved title character heavily involved in drugs, gambling, sex and stealing while a New York police officer.
