Should Herzog Have Made 'Bad Lieutenant'?

11 November 2009 1:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Werner Herzog's new film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans has raised all kinds of hackles, mainly over the "remake" issue. Some movie buffs are crying foul over the remaking of Abel Ferrara's classic Bad Lieutenant (1992), including Ferrara himself, who launched some famously acid comments in the press. This fuss has caused most critics to address the issue of how closely the two films resemble one another. In most cases, critics have concluded that the two films are entirely different with totally different feels and approaches.

Frankly, I'm fascinated by the two films, given that both directors are crazy mavericks, both indulging in their looniest personal whims, no matter what the cost or the outcome. This is not a remake in which anyone is concerned with "staying true to the material" or anything boring like that. Ferrara went nuts on his original film, and Herzog has gone nuts on the new film. »

Harvey Keitel Toplines Rue Morgue Feature Film

29 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

It's about time, we say! Rodrigo Gudiño of Rue Morgue Magazine and The Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow fame is finally cutting his teeth on his first feature film Cut Throats Nine . Rue Morgue Cinema and Someone at the Door Productions are spearheading this endeavor, a remake of the Spanish/Italian grindhouse western Condenados a vivir . Toplining the project is star Harvey Keitel ( Bad Lieutenant , From Dusk Till Dawn ), Mads Mikkelsen ( Casino Royale ) and Roy Dupuis ( La Femme Nikita ). Hell of a trio. Gudiño scripted the remake with Joseph O'Brien ( RoboCop: Prime Directives ) which, in turn, is based on a story by the original film's helmer Joaquin Romero Marchent and co-writer Santiago Moncada. Cut Throats Nine follows a wagonload of convicts as they travel... »

Part One: 52 Meetings From The Comic To The Screen

By Ryan J. Downey

Sure, there's Richard Donner's Superman, the Christopher Nolan Batman films, but to many, "The Crow" remains the greatest comic book flick ever made.

The late, great Brandon Lee, who was killed in a tragic onset accident just days away from completing the film, completely embodied the pathos, grace, otherworldly invincibility and »

Review: Bad Lieutenant - a truly orginal remake

26 October 2009 10:56 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

I've got to say, that the thought of handing over the keys of a cliche ridden traditional cop thriller to Werner Herzog and letting him drive it out of the showroom, is partly a stroke of genius and partly, or completely, totally and absolutely, insane. Not that Abel Ferrara's 1992 film (one which Herzog claims he's still never seen) was anything traditional of course. What's weird with this revamp (remake, reboot, re imagining... whatever) is that at first glance, it looks, walks and talks like an episode of a television cop show. Hey... I said at first glance. We're in New Orleans, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (that bitch) and Terence McDonaugh (Cage - a jokey reference to trouble maker H.I McDonaugh in the Coen's Raising Arizona?) avoids the brow beating of a partner to rescue a crook from a jail cell. A shot sharp glance at a good side of someone who, »

26 October 2009 9:56 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Check out some clips from Werner Herzog’s new film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. We also threw in the trailer in case you had no idea there was another movie using the name of Abel Ferrara’s 1992 feature.

In the film, Nicolas Cage plays Terrence McDonagh, a New Orleans Police sergeant, who starts out as a good cop, receiving a medal and a promotion to lieutenant for heroism during Hurricane Katrina. During his heroic act, McDonagh injures his back and later becomes addicted to prescription pain medication.

“He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes »

26 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

Werner Herzog's new film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans has released a new clip on Apple. The film, a remake of the Abel Ferrara twisted classic Bad Lieutenant, stars Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Xzibit and Brad Dourif.

In the film, Cage plays corrupt police detective Terence McDonagh, a man whose drive to score drugs is only matched by his dedication to the job. Determined to get his way, he wields his badge and gun at every turn, while investigating the killing of five Senegalese immigrants in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The highly functional addict uses his intuitive sleuth skill set to scour New Orleans for the next score and the murderers. Together with his love, a prostitute played by Eva Mendes, he descends into his own underworld, driven and tormented by desire, compulsion and conscience.

Insert Caption: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

23 October 2009 2:15 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that, on a good day, is as bad as a corrupt, drug-addicted lieutenant from New Orleans. Oh, you don't wanna know what it's like on a bad day. Last week we asked you to torture us with captions for a photo from the latest Saw installment, Saw VI (in theaters now). Over 300 folks came out for this one, but unfortunately only three survived our evil, sadistic tests.

1. "Introducing ABC's new fall game show- "Extreme Simon Says" -- Shannon T.

2. "Hang out with Jigsaw, they said." -- Jordan K.

3. "Jerry seemed very upset when someone showed up to his Halloween party after having copied his marionette costume idea exactly." -- Abigail M.

This week we're celebrating Werner Herzog's wild and crazy kinda-sorta remakeof Abel Ferrara's dark, cold and twisted 1992 film Bad Lieutenant. »

tMF Oscarwatch: Nic Cage ready for his 3rd Oscar nom?

12 October 2009 6:40 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

I'm not impressed with a lot of Nic Cage's movies of late. It's so frustrating when you know he could have done better movies. The Nic Cage of today seems like a totally different actor from the Nic cage of yesteryears. I first saw him in Birdy, as Sergeant Al Columbato, an injured Vietnam vet who has a peculiar friend - Birdy, played by Matthew Modine. I love his performances in Guarding Tess, Moonstruck, Matchstick Men and Leaving Las Vegas.

- - -

- - -

Perhaps his collaboration with Werner Herzog's in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans would mark the return of the real Nic Cage.

Remarked Michael Bialas @the HuffPost: Cage has made quite a career for himself in playing erratic characters (Matchstick Men, Vampire's Kiss) living on the edge. While his notorious movie meltdown scenes are legendary, he may even "over-the-top" himself in Bad Lieutenant. »

New 'Bad Lieutenant' looks pretty good to me!

9 October 2009 6:20 PM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »

A brand-new trailer for Werner Herzog's upcoming remake "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" has debuted online, and I'm sold on it at this stage! Check it out after the jump and see for yourself.

"Bad" is a remake of Abel Ferrara’s 1992 "Bad Lieutenant" with Harvey Keitel. Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs while playing fast and loose with the law.

He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive and fearless detective. »

'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' trailer: Nic Cage, back to the nutty

9 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

"Hey man, I got on Swiss cotton underpants!" I'd go ahead and say that's the best line featured in a trailer, uh, ever, if it weren't for the equally fantastic morsel that comes about a minute later: "What are these iguanas doing on my coffee table?" Those two bits of unfettered nuttiness pretty much sum up Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, an awesomely off-the-wall sort-of remake of Abel Ferrara's 1992 cult classic, Bad Lieutenant. This one stars Nic Cage as Terence McDonagh, a once honest cop in the Big Easy who gets addicted to pills, »

Nic Cage's 'Bad Lieutenant' Trailer Bows Online

9 October 2009 10:02 AM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Today the official trailer for Werner Herzog's remake of Bad Lieutenant arrived online, and you can watch it by clicking on the Trailer tab above.

The new film stars Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes, Xzibit and Fairuza Balk.

The original story followed the depraved adventures of a corrupt policeman (Harvey Keitel) investigating the rape of a nun.

The new film features Cage as the familiar crooked cop who uses drugs, accepts sexual favors as bribes and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty in the pursuit of his ambitions, just like the 1992 version.

The film, which has already debuted at the Toronto and Venice film festivals, arrives in theaters in limited release on November 20. »

New Trailer For ‘Bad Lieutenant’ With Nicolas Cage

9 October 2009 8:15 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Not many people are fans of Nicolas Cage. It could be that his hair is a bird, or that he has been known for many poor film choices like Wicker Man, Next, Knowing, Bangkok Dangerous, World Trade Center or Ghost Rider. The trailer for his newest film, however, doesn’t look half bad — even if it is a remake.

Bad Lieutenant is a remake of the 1992 film starring Harvey Keitel about a cop who walks the line of moral and amoral, drinking and gambling along the way. The idea may feel a bit beaten to death for anybody who watched all 6 seasons of FX’s The Shield, but director Werner Herzog is pushing through regardless.

The script was adapted (or copy-and-pasted) by a veteran of the world of police drama, William Finkelstein, who’s writing credits date all the way back to 1990 with Cop Rock. This remake also changes the »

Trailer: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

9 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Yahoo have debuted the first trailer from Nicholas Cage’s new movie, ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’. The movie also stars Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Vondie Curtis Hall, Shawn Hatosy, Denzel Whitaker, Xzibit, Shea Wigham, Katie Chonacas, Brad Dourif and is a remake of Abel Ferrara’s ‘Bad Lieutenant’ made in 1992 which starred Harvey Keitel.

The name makes it sound terrible although the images I posted previously and this new trailer actually make it look pretty good. The problems may come with the fact that it has Mr. Nicolas ‘hit and miss’ Cage in it and we could be in for a bumpy ride!

‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’ has no UK release date as yet.

Bad Lieutenant Trailer Online!

9 October 2009 6:16 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Today we have a new trailer for Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” remake of sorts of Abel Ferrara’s infamous 1992 film, starring Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes, Xzibit and Fairuza Balk.

Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs — while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.
