Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Be aware that the trailer is redband. It includes F bombs and a little nudity as well. Not suitable for work.

Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant Added To Toronto Fest Lineup

We’ve been wondering when the hell we’d actually get to see Bad Lieutenant, the non-remake of Abel Ferrara’s film directed by Werner Herzog and starring Nicolas Cage (click here to see the Bad Lieutenant trailer). Now the Toronto International Film Festival has announced that the film will screen as part of the ‘Special Presentations’ slate. No huge surprise, as Herzog is frequently represented at TIFF (he was last there with Encounters at the End of the World in ‘07) but since Bad Lieutenant has seemed to languish without distributor interest this is a good sign. Other great filmmakers were also announced for the fest; get details of the Coen Brothers and Michael Moore appearances after the jump.

Here’s the short form release from TIFF:

The Toronto International Film Festival is pleased to announce the addition of two Gala Presentations and eight Special Presentations to the programming lineup for this year’s Festival, running September 10 to 19. Included are works from critically acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen, Werner Herzog, Rebecca Miller, Michael Moore and Oliver Parker, and featuring on-screen performances by Drew Barrymore (in her directorial debut), Jim Broadbent, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Colin Farrell, Colin Firth, Rebecca Hall, Val Kilmer, Christopher Lee, Juliette Lewis, Blake Lively, Eva Mendes, Julianne Moore, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Robin Wright Penn and Keanu Reeves.

So, the big additions are that we’ve got A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers, Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore and, in the slightly surprising column, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It. (Which was promoted around Comic Con by squads of rollergirls in costume as the film’s main roller derby team.) While the Herzog, Coen and Moore films aren’t surprises, it’s nice to see them in the lineup.

And, as The Playlist noted while we were returning from San Diego, Wes Anderson’s The Fantastic Mr. Fox will not be at TIFF, or at Venice. It will premiere at the BFI London Film Festival. Since Venice has loved Anderson in the past and gave this one a pass, does that mean the film isn’t any good?

You can click the picture above to check out an early trailer for Bad Lieutenant starring Cage and Kilmer. I'm not on the hate-Cage bandwagon. I like him quite a bit. I would love to be in Toronto each year for the film festival there as they always have a great lineup.

Nic Cage =


...
.
ok, after getting over my initial reaction of seeing that Cage is in it and watching the trailer it looks like it would be an entertaing rental. I'm not big on Eva Mendes either actually.

I forgot to mention it's a redband trailer with F bombs and a little bit of nudity. I'll add it to the first post

[Teabaggins]

it all depends on Cage's hairstyle....it can break a movie easily

[Moefiz]

The first one was a classic, I hope they can do justice to it...

New art work. Looking forward to this.

[OrlandoEastwood]

My bet is Sony will probably pick it up.

I liked the original,and it's nice to see Val maybe make it back to the big screen, but this film is going to flop.
Cage should talk to Val about how to land the best straight to video parts, because it's coming soon for him.

I just want the original on blu from Lionsgate with no eco-case please!

[mikejet]

This is getting great buzz from the festivals. I want to see it!

+1

However, it does have Eva Mendes in it.....

[Teabaggins]

Cage and Mendes were both featured in another fine gem of film making......"Ghost Rider"

I hope Cage got to write some of his dialogue in this movie like he did in Ghost Rider!

[Meeklo]

This looked more like a comedy....or just full of the regular Nic Cage schlock...

I will say there's no possible way for this one to beat the original.
