Bad Lieutenant

Abel Ferrera's hard hitting 'Bad Lieutenant', starring Harvey Keitel (and, unfortunately, a cameo from Little Harvey) is getting the remake treatment.

Nicolas Cage will be starring, and painful visions of his hammy histrionics in the role haunt me already.

But, and this is a big but, the film will be directed by Werner Herzog.  Herzog, who made a return to dramatic features with Rescue Dawn after a series of documentary films, is known for his arduous shoots and the sometimes surreal but always powerful films which result.  Whilst this is likely to be a mess, Herzogs involvement will mean it will at least be an interesting mess.
