For this BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS poster, they should’ve dispensed with the already bulky tagline and instead gone with ATTACK OF THE FLOATING HEADS. The noggins of Nic Cage and Eva Mendes float ominously over New Orleans in this poster and, frankly, there’s not a terrible poster below them. If you click through to see the full image at Coming Soon (who’s hosting the exclusive), you’ll see that there’s a striking image at the bottom of a bunch of cops at a foggy crime scene. Why not stick with that? Do we need the steely blue eyes of Nic Cage staring into our soul?
BAD LIEUTENANT is currently making the rounds at a number of fests and our own Chris Bumbray will be checking it out at the Toronto Film Fest. Check back for his review and more from the film…
