Movie Trailer: Bad Lieutenant – Port of Call New Orleans
For those of you that haven’t already seen the early promos for Werner Herzog’s forthcoming Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, it’s well worth having a dig around. The film, a remake of an 1992 Abel Ferrara film, stars Nicolas Cage and looks insane.
I have no idea if this film is going to be any good. On the one hand, it’s Nic Cage. However, I am a firm believer that no actor who carries on getting work as long as Cage has, is capable of producing nothing but the stinkers this man has squeezed out in the past few years. He could well be back on form with this one.
Plus, I mean just watch the trailer, will you? The guy looks as though he might at any second ACTUALLY murder someone’s grandmother, and not just in the film! You’d be an accessory to NOT go and see it!

Movie Trailer: Kick-Ass
Here’s a teaser trailer for the film adaptation of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass comic.
I have to admit, I’ve never been a fan of Millar’s output, which I always considered tried that little bit too hard to be edgy, while other (IMHO, better) writers managed it with a bit of subtlety and grace. I hated the Wanted comic and I’ve heard the film version, while vastly different to the source material, wasn’t worth the time of day either.
I have to admit though, this film (directed by Matthew Vaughn, of Layer Cake/Stardust fame) looks kinda cool.
The story centres around a young, bored teenage boy named Dave Lizewski (played by relative newcomer Aaron Johnson), who decides one day that he’ll fight back against the injustices of the world by donning a costume and assuming the mantle of the crime-fighting, though super power-free ‘Kick-Ass’. As you’d expect from Millar, not all goes according to plan.
The film also stars Nicolas Cage as fellow vigilante, ‘Big Daddy’, as well as Superbad‘s Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Kick-Ass is due for release in the second quarter of 2010.
