Cinematical has just received these exclusive stills from Werner Herzog's kinda-sorta remake of Abel Ferrara's dirty, foul-mouthed 1992 film starring Harvey Keitel as a sick, sadistic, drug-addicted cop who's investigating the rape of a young nun. Updated for the "We'll Try Anything Twice" generation, Herzog's The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans stars Nicolas Cage as our dirty, violent, sex-charged corrupt cop who's apparently in charge of investigating the killings of five Senegalese immigrants when he's not busy breaking the law in a variety of disgusting and distasteful ways.
The film, which screened at the Telluride Film Festival and is about to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, seems to be drawing a number of fascinating reactions from critics. Our own Eugene Novikov had this to say in his review: "If you're a fan of this genre, this could be your chance to watch a smart filmmaker take it in some strange and interesting directions; if you're not, this is your chance to watch a smart filmmaker make fun of it. If you've been following Nic Cage's increasingly intense scenery-chewing over the last couple years, this is your chance to see it taken to its logical conclusion and beyond. Herzog occasionally makes The Bad Lieutenant feel frivolous, but it's rarely less than fascinating."
Check out a bunch of exclusive images from the film below, and look for it to hit theaters later this year.

Man I thought Nicolas Cage had bad hair in "Next" but this one beats it out for the all time worst bad hair actor award.

Ha! I was just gonna ask why that dude insists on keeping the longer hair when he so obviously shouldn't. I'm not stylist, but he looks like shit.

It's like he stole Tom Hanks' hairdo from The DaVinci Code

I think at this point in his career, the quality of his hair piece is relative to the quality of the movie he's starring in, so my expectations for this flick aren't high.
Seriously Nic, embrace the baldness; you aren't fooling anybody.

i would just like to say that i am a very big fan of Nicolas Cage and i have everyone of his movies and poster to go with them i only wish that i could afford to go to toronto to see him at the film festival. I have been a fan for many many years we are the same age i only wish that i could get a autographe picture of him or even a email or call but i know that is only wishfull thinking on my part. He is and will always be the best actor in the movie industry.

Holding up two old ladies? I'm not checking the gallery in case there's another one of him eating a puppy.

He looks like he's made of rubber. Also, I agree with the hair comments. Get a new wig-fitter Nic.

nick's hair problem? it's the lack of sideburns... the man needs to grow sideburns. i kept seeing pix of him and thinking, what the hell is wrong with his head? then it dawned on me... no sideburns. and he needs them. take any photo of him without sideburns and photoshop them in. instant normal (or at the very least, less odd). i kid you not.
