Badder Lieutenant

The Hollywood Reporter is trying to ruin my day, claiming that Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant is being re-made by Werner Herzog, with Nicolas Cage stepping into the role already owned by Harvey Keitel.

But it couldn’t possibly be true. Cage would know better than to ruin (*cough* Wings of Desire *cough*) an already legendary movie (*cough*The Wicker Man*cough) by creating a mediocre imitation… right?

And what will Herzog, with his particular worldview, do with that profoundly spiritual conclusion?
