From Jeffrey Wells' HOLLYWOOD ELSEWHERE
(http://hollywood-elsewhere.com):
A remake of Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant will begin shoting in the
late summer with Nicolas Cage reinterpreting Harvey Keitel's coked-
out, self-destructive Manhattan cop and -- talk about a curious but
totally dynamite call -- the great Werner Herzog directing. Inspired!
I love it sight unseen.
The only uh-oh is that it's being partly slapped together by the very
"bad" (in a manner of speaking) Israeli producer Avi Lerner, who's
long been regarded as more of a wheeler-dealer in the Dino de
Laurentiis-Eli Samaha-Giancarlo Perretti tradition of movie-producing
by way of an Oriental rug salesman mentality. The more respectable
Edward R. Pressman is also a producer on the film. Nobody pushes
Herzog around, but the general rule-of-thumb is that a movie is only
as good and smart as the lamest link in the chain.
Has this rule ever been proved wrong? Yes -- when legendary
schlockmeister Willam Castle helped produce Roman Polanski's classic
Rosemary's Baby.

On one hand, Herzog directing Cage is a must-see. But otoh, BAD
LIEUTENANT was pretty clearly a don't-see-twice. I'm not sure I'll
look forward to this one. Meanwhile though, for the record (and imo),
"schlockmeister" Castle's gimmick-fests were *not* atrocious
filmmaking.

At first I thought this was April 1.
Now all I can say is: this is the greatest

Might be interesting to see the differences. However, I wonder if
they'll cut the scene with the 2 16 year old girls, given today's
climate regarding underage abuse? |

Don't know if Cage can do a better job than Keitel but definitely will
be worth seeing. The original is one of my all time favorites. Cage is
great at playing those desperate characters as in Leaving Los Vegas. |

Remember Matchstick Men, in which he was desperate and complex. |

A suck movie, the proposed, though there are worse -- loved Leaving
Las Vegas, so as easy to say that's me sucking. Keitel's not of
Cage's caliber, but, then again, Cage's been more of late prone to
suck movies, regardless. I suspect Cage paid homage Abel Ferrara and
an exacting roles art plays in intellectual philosophy dissertations,
Vampirism as Practised among the Academia -- going into true form of
noted preparation involving the eating of live flies, which is a
reflection of capability he took no less rigorously to bear, I heard
him say, by staying consummately stoned prior to Leaving Las Vegas.
Suppose the same style could be argued for willing sixteen- into
having their butts felt-up, or at least willing eighteen-year-olds
acting if their butts felt sixteen, shooting heroin on the street and
in the sewer, and whatnot -- although, not to be sure, how Cage might
define actual limits within a little I've read from an exacting
training method he employs. That he doesn't need to do this shit, I
feel more inspired to say;- that he apparently is doing it,
nonetheless, is an interesting aspect about him that says 'I'm not in
it for just the money, folks';- whereas whether'll he sucks, or not,
I'd give even odds at this juncture of his career. An illustrious
actor, I'd certainly be first to rise to applaud, a lifelong
commitment standing for that stature for one most illustrious
achievement likely to supersede time and periodic relevancy. What Cage
has perhaps yet to achieve, as did Mel when he attempted We Were
Soldiers, a most honorable Australian note of homage to a skirmish. |

I doubt it. Cage comes off more insane than anxiety-ridden when he
acts. |
