Director: Werner Herzog
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Xzibit
Abel Ferrara made a 1992 film, starring Harvey Keitel, called 'Bad Lieutenant'. Upon hearing about this new Werner Herzog version, Ferrara didn't exactly lend his support: "I wish these people die in Hell. I hope they're all in the same streetcar, and it blows up." Glad to see film makers are still staying classy. Herzog's response to Ferrara's bile was somewhat bizarre: "I have no idea who he is", while also denying that his film was a remake of Ferrara's.
