XZIBIT SCORES ROLE IN 'BAD LIEUTENANT' REMAKE: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes and Val Kilmer round out cast.
*The 1992 Abel Ferrara-directed film "Bad Lieutenant" is getting a fresh coat of actors - including rapper Xzibit – and a "re-imagined" plot for a remake from director Werner Herzog.
The original movie starred Harvey Keitel as a disturbingly horrible police lieutenant who was also a gambler, thief, junkie and killer. When he investigates the rape of a nun, he uses the opportunity to purge himself of inner demons and possibly attempt redemption.
While the plot for Herzon's "re-imagined" version has not been disclosed, it was announced that Nicholas Cage will step into Keitel's role as the troubled cop, while Val Kilmer will portray his partner, reports Variety. Xzibit is playing a nemesis named Big Fade.
Eva Mendes has also been cast in the indie project, which will be financed by Nu Image/Millennium Films.
Xzibit, whose real name is Alvin Joiner, will next be seen in the Fox release "X Files: I Want to Believe."
