The cast of a cult classic remake just grew by two. According to Variety, Val Kilmer and rapper/actor Xzibit have signed onto the cast of The Bad Lieutenant. The film is a remake of the 1992 Bad Lieutenant film that starred Harvey Keitel.

Cage is set to play the lead character, a cop who lives on the edge and Kilmer will play his partner. Xzibit will portray a criminal dubbed Big Fade.

Werner Herzog is directing the remake, from a script by William Finkelstein. Nu Image/Millenium Films are financing the picture. No production schedule has been released.

how can they already be remaking of a movie that was made in '92?

Anyway i'd never heard of it but this will probably suck: Nicolas Cage couldn't act if his life depended on it and in Ghost Rider (where he was also with Eva Mendez) his acting seemed to have fallen to an all-time low

its neither actually.
check out the interview here:

http://defamer.com/395038/defiant-werner-herzog-to-defamer-who-is-abel-ferrara

it turns out hes just using the name to anger fans of the original, as a form of publicity. there will be no connection between any of the characters or storylines, and it will be filmed in new orleans because he said theyll get a nice tax-break if they shoot there.

and he insults abel ferrera repeatedly throughout the interview.

I never thought XZIBIT could act, but then I saw XXX2 and Derailed, and Gridiron Gang, I think Gridiron Gang was the best

with a body of work including writing for shows like COP ROCK and l.a.law, i wouldnt expect too much from mr. finklestein.

after having read the interview with herzog id like to kick him in the nuts... having said that, i should probably point out that i do like werner herzog i just think he should be more respectful to abel ferrera, who has directed some of my favorite movies, including bad lietenant and king of new york, among others.
