Remember when you thought Nicolas Cage was one of the best actors in the business. When he made films like Leaving Las Vegas, Raising Arizona, Vampire’s Kiss, and Face/Off (and I don’t want to hear he wasn’t great in Face/Off, cause he was). Well, I’m happy to report the amazing Nicolas Cage is back and he can be seen in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, which opens in limited release this weekend. While I was one of the people that wondered if Cage and Werner Herzog could do justice to the Bad Lieutenant name, I really shouldn’t have been worried, as Bad Lieutenant is an awesome movie and something that you should go see in a crowded theater this weekend. Also, Cage hasn’t been this good in years.
So to help promote the film, I recently attended a press conference with Cage. He talked about his character, making the film, and a lot more. You can either read what he had to say or listen to the audio after the jump:

One of my most anticipated films for the rest of the year is “Bad Lieutenant: Port of New Orleans”. It’s Werner Herzog directing Nicolas Cage and it looks just as insane as I was hoping it would. You might have seen the unofficial trailer which popped up a couple of months ago, but we now the official theatrical trailer has been released. While this trailer doesn’t make the film look as weird and as insane as the unofficial one, I think this one does a better job of selling the film. You can watch the trailer after the jump.

Premiering at this year’s Toronto Film Festival is director Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans”. While some may have wondered why they needed to make a new “Bad Lieutenant”, after watching this unofficial trailer, I’m sold. Also, while Nicolas Cage has made a few acting choices that I disagree with in the past few years, I’m still a big fan of his work. Here’s hoping a team up with Werner Herzog will be a good one. Anyway, in about a month we’ll know how it turned out. Until then, take a look at a number of new images from the film.
