Bad Lieutenant Trailer Online!
Today we have a new trailer for Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” remake of sorts of Abel Ferrara’s infamous 1992 film, starring Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes, Xzibit and Fairuza Balk.
Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs — while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Trailer
“Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” more-than-two-minute promo trailer directed by Werner Herzog has hit the web.
Abel Ferrera directed and co-wrote the 1992 original, which earned Harvey Keitel an Independent Spirit Award for his performance as a drug-addled, gambling sex addict who investigates the rape of a nun.
Actually, “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” isn’t real remake! Herzog himself calls it “a completely independent autonomous story.” He even claims he’s never seen the original.
At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, director Werner Herzog announced a remake of the film with Nicolas Cage starring and the original film’s producer, Edward R. Pressman returning. When asked about the remake, Ferrara said,
“These people should die in hell, all three of them. It’s so disrespectful. And it’s a good thing I’m not there (referring to his delayed arrival in Cannes) If I see them I’ll strangle every one of them”
“Nick Cage, Werner Herzog … I hope they’re in the same streetcar when it blows up.” [Source: LA Times]

But his life, and that of everyone he loves is threatened and possibly gone forever. Wade ends up in a hellish facility run by Lt. William Jackson (Harold Perrineau), known as the SHU (Security Housing Unit) where the inmates are brutal but far less deadly than the guards.
