Nicolas Cage is The Bad Lieutenant

[Heisenberg]

So, just saw the trailer for this. Er, what is Herzog thinking?! It looks terrible. Sure, the trailer states that the film is still in post-production, but really... no amount of post work can save some of the worst dialog and ridiculous acting I've seen in a long time (Well, come to think of it, it's not been long since Nic Cage's last film). My god, why.

My God do I hope that proper context makes some of those scenes less cheesy...

I thought it was a crazy ass campy trailer. Sometimes that can be a good thing.

Cage is a great actor but his movies have been really terrible lately (for the last 10 years ? His last great one was probably Adaptation) Somehow I don't see this one as being his redemption.

toss up trailer. it could be a cool thrilling gritty cop flick, or it could be a bomb. With Herzog involved I would think thered be a little more.

My ass=In theater seat.

Can't post links to the trailer guys due to the F-bombs.

Having seen it I think it looks hilarious, I didn't realize they were making it a dark comedy.

the more I watch this trailer, the more I like for how utterly insane this film looks. Nic Cage looks like a maniac here.

I think if it wasn't called Bad Lieutenant I may not have disliked it the first time, because the trailer just looks so stupid crazy you can't dislike it.

I don't like the cinematography; it looks like a TV MOVIE on LIFETIME.

That brings up a good point. Why the hell did Herzog decide to call this Bad Lieutenant. It looks like a completely different movie, and it would have spared Abel some sleepless nights.

Lol, this looks like the funniest movie since the original Bad Lieutenant!

"Keep shooting, his soul is still dancing."

My thoughts exactly.

Seriously guys, it's freaking Nicolas Cage. That alone is worth the price of admission.

There was a joke that Harvey Kietel was simply being followed by a camera going about his normal day in Bad Lieutenant, this appears to be the case for Nicolas Cage too.

Holy ****, I didn't realize there was already a thread for this.

Just saw the trailer, this looks ****ing bat**** insane. Love Werner Herzog.

''Shoot him again.''

This looks like a cult film already.

 

[Dark Victory]

Looks like a fun guilty pleasure. Only thing I don't like is the cinematography. It looks really cheap and has that straight-to-dvd feel.

I didn't watch the trailer entirely, but it looked hilarious enough. I love Nic Cage.

Werner Herzog for Ghost Rider 2?

 

[nite-owl]

I haven't seen the original but this looks like pure gold.

 

[dark_b]

when will Nic start to shave. hes hairstyle looks pathetic.

 

[Rac]

Werner Herzog for Ghost Rider 2?

Hehe, maybe then it would be FUN to watch unlike the first one which was just too cringeworthy to even become so-bad-it's-laughable.

 

[Heisenberg]

So I've gotten over the fact that Xzibit and Eva Mendes are in this, but I still really don't like the cinematography, and some of the lines fall horribly flat to me. "His soul is still dancing" and "You don't have a lucky crack-pipe?" have kinda turned me around, just because of the sheer hilariousness and Cage's delivery. Still, his performance is kinda veering on a fine line between brilliant, or ridiculous. I personally hope this is a return to his earlier form, but I just get the feeling it will be ridiculous.

I believe some guy bought the rights to the title, sold it, and ran off with the money. So in a way, Herzog had to keep the title because they already paid a lot for it. Something like that.
