Badder Lieutenant

The Hollywood Reporter is trying to ruin my day, claiming that Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant is being re-made by Werner Herzog, with Nicolas Cage stepping into the role already owned by Harvey Keitel.

But it couldn't possibly be true. Cage would know better than to ruin

an already legendary movie

by creating a mediocre imitation... right?

And what will Herzog, with his particular worldview, do with that profoundly spiritual conclusion?
