Eva Mendes to join ”The Bad Lieutenant”
Eva Mendes is in talks to join the ”The Bad Lieutenant” directed by Werner Herzog, also starring Nicolas Cage.
The remake of ”The Bad Lieutenant” is being fast-tracked for a July shoot and the producers are in talks to film in New Orleans.
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.
The new version is based on a screenplay from William M Finkelstein, a seasoned television writer whose credits include LA Law and NYPD Blue, and gives the conflicted officer a name – Terence McDonough – as he investigates the killing of five Senegalese immigrants.
