Nick Cage is as deep as a puddle and does NOT have the chops to handle this role.
Who does he think he is – Harvey Keitel?

Klaus Kinski gave everyone shit, and Herzog was the only one tough enough to work with him multiple times. Herzog put him in his place many times in My Best Fiend, even coming up with death threats. The man’s a badass and slightly off his rocker, which makes him such an eccentric, unique talent.

Hey, did you hear that they’re remaking Serpico and casting Ben Affleck as Serpico? Man, that’s gonna be good…am I kidding? The sad thing is that you have to wonder whether or not I’m really kidding, right?

That’s all we need. Nic Cage masturbating in to a car window and showing his junk around.
Werner makes this project interesting, Cage totally destroys that interest.

What strange, beautiful but perplexing news.

I’m not really thrilled about Herzog doing the remake circuit but what an odd film to remake. I can’t help but be curious.

Also, Herzog is not a god. He’s more like Prometheus. A man of principal, courage and tenacity who defies the will of whatever gods stand in his way.

@Darren, Why would Herzog listen to Gio’s “rules” about remakes. Did he listen to the engineers who told him you can’t move a steam ship over a mountain using 18th century technology?

You’re right John. Herzog is a fucking god. Not only did he get fucking shot during an interview, he ate a fucking shoe and had it filmed. A FUCKING SHOE!!!!!
