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 & 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.
