According to the Hollywood Reporter, Herzog is reportedly keen to retain the tone of the original, which shocked audiences at the time. Top Gun star Kilmer has signed up to play Cage's partner, while Xzibit will exercise his acting chops as a villain. Other names already on board for the remake include Deadwood star Brad Dourif, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Vondie Curtis Hall, Shea Wigham and Katie Chonacas.
