WTF

So, Bad Lieutenant, the 90s classic (that I desperately need to see) with Harvey Keitel as the tortured deeply flawed police dude ibeing remade by Hollywood with Nicholas Cage. Val Kilmer also has a role, and, browsing imdb, I see that Xzibit is in it. (For those who don't know, that's the lovely fellow from pimp my ride. He also, once upon a time, was known as a rapper, as seen here.) Also, the setting has been moved to New Orleans. The movie is called Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Abel Ferrara, director of the original Bad Lieutenant has expressed his feelings that the people remaking this should "die in hell".

Now, ordinarily, this seems like it could be a fair statement. However, the person signed up to direct this film is.....................................................................................................

Are you ready for it?

WERNER HERZOG!!!!!!!!

It's like the person writing the story of the world just got really, really wasted one night.

Even better is this interview.

Add this to the music video above, and I think we have a new reason the universe should be allowed to exist for at least a couple months until this project is completed.
