Nicolas Cage won’t attend the New York screening of his remake of “Bad Lieutenant” after the death of his father, August Coppola. Cage canceled his appearance at the Nov. 8 event after his dad, a literature professor, passed away at 75.

Cage’s rep, Annett Wolf, said Coppola, the brother of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and dean of creative arts at San Francisco State University, had a heart attack.
