Brosnan, Cage in Polanski thriller
Both Pierce Brosnan and Nicolas Cage are set to star in The Ghost, a political thriller under the direction of Roman Polanski. The movie is based on the Robert Harris novel that tells the story of a ghostwriter hired to complete the memoirs of a former British prime minister. In the course of his work he discovers secrets that would endanger his life.
Brosnan is set to play the role of the prime minister and Cage is the ghostwriter.
Shooting for the movie will begin in Europe this fall.
Bad Lieutenant to be remade with Nic Cage
In Hollywood, nothing is sacred — and nothing proves this more than news that Bad Lieutenant is going to be remade.
Yes, the NC-17 rated crime classic directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Harvey Keitel is going to be remade and it is going to star Nicolas Cage. I have no idea what made them think that a film as perfect as the original movie should even be considered for a remake. Keitel was awesome as the depraved NY policeman. He completely owned that role and I don’t see anyone else doing his role justice.
One thing that has at least stopped me from completely freaking out is that Werner Herzog is going to direct the remake. But Nic Cage? Is he even willing to go full frontal or even masturbate just like Keitel did?
