Val Kilmer, Xzibit and Jennifer Coolidge have signed on to star in Werner Herzog’s upcoming remake of “Bad Lieutenant,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. In Abel Ferrara’s original 1992 film, Harvey Keitel played a corrupt New York City cop investigating a young nun’s rape.
In the new version, Nicholas Cage will apparently play a cop who investigates the murder of a group of illegal immigrants. Eva Mendes and Brad Dourif co-star.
Kilmer is playing Cage’s partner, while Xzibit will star as one of the film’s villains. Herzog is directing a script by Billy Finkelstein.
Val Kilmer was last seen on the big screen in Tony Scott’s “Déjà Vu.” Justa few days ago, we reported he joined the cast of “Silver Cord,” which James Ordonez is directing.
Xzibit was last seen in “Gridiron Gang.” He will next star in Chris Carter’s “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.”
