Nicolas Cage should 'die in hell'

Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage and German director Werner Herzog, reported to be planning a remake of Abel Ferrara's 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, should "die in hell," Ferrara said in Cannes.

"I wish those people would die in hell," he told reporters when asked what he thought of the remake plan.

"Nick Cage, Werner Herzog ... I hope they're in the same streetcar when it blows up."

Entertainment industry journal Variety reported last week that the film, which featured Harvey Keitel as the lead in the original, would star Cage and be directed by Herzog.

The original film saw critical acclaim for the electrifying performance of Keitel, a morally depraved New York police officer investigating the brutal rape of a nun.

Ferrara is at the Cannes film festival this week to present Chelsea on the Rocks, a documentary about New York's legendary Chelsea Hotel.
