This is some of the most surprising news I have read in some time. Not because of who is starring in it, I feel like that guy would star in your child's school play if you asked him, but because of the director. Not that he isn't perfect for something like this. Nicolas Cage will star in an updated version of 1992's Bad Lieutenant with Werner Herzog directing.
The original film starred Harvey Keitel and was directed by Abel Ferrara from a screenplay by Ferrara and Zoe Lund.
Story followed the depraved New York police officer of the title, who was heavily involved in drugs, gambling, sex and stealing; it received an NC-17 rating.
Hopefully this will mark a return of the edgy Nicolas Cage, something that hasn't really been seen since Adaptation (ok, maybe Matchstick Men).
