In Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, 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 (played by 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.

Due out on 1st December 2009

Early in the summer there was an trailer floating around the webpress for Werner Herzog's version Bad Lieutentant but today here is the "offical" feature trailer version. If you have watched the earlier trailer there isnt much difference in the two more Yahoo making it more offical. The first trailer was simply created to help promote the movie whic was doing the festival circuit earlier in the year and now the festival season is winding down the movie is going to get released nationwide.
This is loosly based on the 1992 Abel Ferrara version with Harvey Keitel as the lead role but instead of New York the new verson is based down in good 'ol New Orleans. I'm no big fan of Nicholas Cage but this looks like one of his best performances in a longtime (at last its long overdue big man!!!).You cant beat a man who wear Swiss cotton underpants (arghh listening to his mum's advice!), Coffee table iguanas, dancing souls and making money the old fashioned way. Val Kilmer, Eve Mendes, Xzibit and Brad Douriff join Nicholas in his 2 hours of madness down in the deep south of U.S
No release date for U.K/Ireland but the movie will be out stateside November 25th
