Pressman Film Corp. has set actor Nicolas Cage (NATIONAL TREASURE,  NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS, GHOST RIDER) to star in the remake of BAD LIEUTENANT.

The original was directed by Abel Ferrara and starred Harvel Keitel as a drug- and sex-addicted corrupt cop. Billy Finkelstein wrote the script.

Werner Herzog will direct.  Ed Pressman and Stephen Belafonte will produce. Elliot Rosenblatt, Alessandro Camon, Randall Emmet, Nu Image/Millennium's Danny Dimbort, Lerner, Trevor Short & Boaz Davidson will executive produce.

Filming will begin later this year. 

Cage recently finished work on BANGKOK DANGEROUS and is currently working on KNOWING. He is in pre-production on AMARILLO SLIM.

Nic is no Harvey Keitel. He wouldn't make my list to reprise any of Keitel's roles. Talk about benefitting from being well connected and having relatives in the business. I still may check out Bangkok Dangerous, I just like that type of film, reminds me of Woo's early stuff.

I've posted this on several threads already, but here it is again,
On a seperate note, it seems that Jarrod is on vacation but Mania seems to be leaving out some headlines and rumors that deserve some mention
1- Guy Ritchie is J.Silver's choice to direct Sgt.Rock from DC comics.

2-Kick Ass comic is in pre-production already.

3-Cap's shield makes a cameo in IronMan.Check the still on Latest Maniac's Updates

4-Another site is reporting that Marvel will invest 150 to 300mil on Thor and it will be the most "fantastic" Marvel adaptation to date and Pitt is the name being tossed around for the role.

5-"Hancock" is doing reshoots in NY. Usually bad news this late in the game. The film has failed to get a pg13 rating two times and isn't testing well so far.

6-Here is a link for some semi-nude shots of Megan Fox...http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=6142

7-Transformers 2 is rumored to be heading for the 3D treatment

8-The one that's eating at me the most, this is just a rumor, but some sites are saying that Matt McConaughey is being considered for Captain America

There is no boobs to that link, just to let anyone else going with their hopes up, like Wiseguy did to me.
Damn it all to hell!!!!!!!!

I thought Nic Cage was going to remake the Michael Jackson video. Where you at with Ghost Rider 2 son!!!?

Did you check out the the thumb nails. At least you can tell she's got a nice landing strip. And I did say semi-nude.

If they're doing GR2 Eva Mendes swears she doesn't know anything about it.

I only focused on the word nude and chose to skip over the semi part in hopes you would be wrong. It's my fault.

Why is this being remade, its only 14 years old. I really hope we don't see Nic's package. The oiginal one was a decent film but nothing special, I am talking about the movie.

i like cage, but keitel was made for bad lieutnant ! no way he can come close to keitel performance. no way, he should stay in walt disney production, by the way, book of secret was too boring for my taste, i stop at the middle of the movie. more he have fake hair more he s boring me....

"Cage Set for BAD Remake". Name one remake (apart from "The Thing") that isn't? ;)

Dude (fft305), I TOTALLY AGREE!!! WHO CARES ABOUT ALL THE REST OF THOSE USELESS HEADLINES. MEAGAN FOX IS A VISION OF BEAUTY! I MEAN OMG.. but, she does have too many tat's and needs a tan.. just my opinion .. because i am perfect of course...lol. OH and nice catch with the landing strip wiseguy.. very good catch!!! U made me go back and look... One more thing - NOT happy about PITT being THOR!! NOT HAPPY AT ALL.
