i think he did both a docu. and a dramatization - i havent seen either yet.

When i heard about it i was interested cos u just know he starved Christian Bale in the jungle for real to make it authentic.

I saw the trailer and i was a bit uninterested..

yup, really good.

Bale and Zahn are great.

I have to agree Rescue Dawn was amazing.

I must check it out then.

Val Kilmer and Xzibit have joined Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes in "Bad Lieutenant," the Werner Herzog-directed remake of the 1992 Abel Ferrara cult hit.

Nu Image/Millennium Films is financing.

Cage plays a cop on the edge, and Kilmer will play his partner. Xzibit is playing a nemesis named Big Fade, in a re-imagining of the film.

Edward R. Pressman is producing with Alan and Gabe Polsky, Stephen Belafonte, Emmett/Furla's Randall Emmett and Cage's Saturn Films.

William Finkelstein wrote the script. Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, Elliot Rosenblatt and Alessandro Camon are exec producers.

Kilmer recently completed "Streets of Blood" while Xzibit (Alvin Joiner) will next be seen in the Fox release "X Files: I Want to Believe."

Noway!
Again I like Cage but he just doesn't suit this part.
If he can remotely pull this off I will be impressed but I don't see it.
There is no need for a remake, the original was brilliant.
Will view it because its cage and because I did like the original but I know I will be disappointed.
