Nicolas Cage is set to star in Werner Herzog's remake of the 1992 cult classic Bad Lieutenant for financier Nu Image / Millennium Films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Pressman Film Corp. will produce the new version of its original Abel Ferrara NC-17 film about a drug- and sex-addicted corrupt cop. Cage takes the role originated by Harvey Keitel, with TV police show writer Billy Finkelstein scripting.

Production begins in July.

i rewatched the bad lieutenant this past weekend and have to say that harvey keitel mastered that role, and in my opinion nicholas cage simply isnt talented enough to rival keitel in this role, making it pointless and insulting to harvey to remake this movie.

thats what im saying. cage is the man no doubt. maybe its the directors fault for letting it be what it was(shit) but then in the other hand we have sir cage accepting these roles. its his responsibility as an actor to kno what is a good and a bad choice for a movie. so far i have only seen bad choices. and as phat pointed out, this is only adding fuel to the fire

bad lieutenant is a fucking masterpiece, and not nearly old enough to warrant a remake.
