New 'Bad Lieutenant' looks pretty good to me!

Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes in Bad Lieutenant

A brand-new trailer for Werner Herzog's upcoming remake "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" has debuted online, and I'm sold on it at this stage! Check it out after the jump and see for yourself.

"Bad" is a remake of Abel Ferrara’s 1992 "Bad Lieutenant" with Harvey Keitel. 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 and fearless detective.

Geat ready! 'Ghost Rider 2' is on the way...

Let me tell you: I sincerely hoped "Ghost Rider" would never make a comeback. I mean, Mark Steven Johnson's 2007 action flick with Nicolas Cage sucked so bad, I thought they would bury the damn thing and just let it go.

I was wrong, obviously, because in today's world, Hollywood is all about rebooting pretty much anything out there. That said, "Ghost Rider 2" is now officially on the way, courtesy of Columbia Pictures, and this according to Variety.

Earlier this month, we found out Nicolas Cage dropped out of Michel Gondry's upcoming action adventure "The Green Hornet," but back then, it was not really clear why so. The only thing we knew was that Cage failed to reach a proper deal with Columbia. There was more to it though, and Cage now revealed what happened.

Nicolas Cage to be the bad guy in 'Green Hornet'?

Nicolas Cage is in early negotiatons to play the bad guy in Columbia's upcoming "The Green Hornet," which Michel Gondry will direct.

The film follows the adventures of Britt Reid, who inherits his dad's newspaper and fights crime as a masked hero at night. Seth Rogen plays the lead character, and Cameron Diaz is in talks to play his love interest.

The studio is also looking for someone to play Reid's sidekick Kato. Stephen Chow was originally set for the role, but he dropped out recently.

I don't know about you, but I think Rogen going after Cage could actually be funny. Give Cage one of those terrible wigs and he's all set to play a convincing villain.

Evan Goldberg and Rogen penned the script for the flick, which is set for release next year. Cage's upcoming credits include "Kick-Ass," "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
