Actor Nicolas Cage has been signed to star in the remake of “Bad Lieutenant” which was a film made back in 1992 that got an NC-17 rating. Harvey Keitel starred in the original version of the film. The remake will be made by Nu Image/Millenium and I would guess the new version would get an R rating so more people can see it.

The story focuses on a lousy cop who doesn’t do his job right by being addicted to drugs, sex, gambling and stealing. The film will be announced at this year’s Cannes festival.

Nicolas Cage’s latest film is a film titled “Bangkok Dangerous”, set to be released August 22nd of this summer, it is an action film about a criminal played by Cage who falls for a Thai woman.

Nic Cage is one of those actors who never stops working, he keeps coming out with film after film every time. I don’t think he ever takes a break. He is a good actor though, I enjoy watching his films.
