Most recently The Hollywood Reporter announced that Xzibit and Denzel Whitaker, along with Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Vondie Curtis Hall, and Shawn Hatosy are set to join Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendez in Werner Herzog's cop drama 'Bad Lieutenant, which is an update of Abel Ferrara's cult classic'

The original followed the depraved adventures of a corrupt policeman (Harvey Keitel) investigating the rape of a nun. The new film will feature Cage as the titular crooked cop and capture the spirit of the original, with the protagonist's drug intake, accepting sexual favors as bribes and other elements that endeared so many to the 1992 version.

The new film will feature Kilmer as Cage's partner, while Xzibit will play a villain.

Xzibit will be seen this month in 'The X-Files: I Want To Believe', while Whitaker was last seen in 'The Great Debaters' with Denzel Washington and Nate Parker.
