Left Behind is getting a movie - again
« on: May 31, 2014, 02:31:20 pm »
And Nicholas Cage is starring in it.

Mr. Cage, or Mr. Cage's agent, I am disappoint.

(The title of the video is wrong, it's slated for October 4th of 2014, not 2013)

My opinion on this? Nic probably saw the title, looked at the script, and started laughing his ass off.  It's a paycheck movie where even he knows he gets to act like a crazy fucker.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Heh.

I remember seeing the original movie.  And at the time I thought it was a fantastic thing.

Now?  I can't even look at a clip of the movie without feeling sick to my stomach.

I'm tempted to see this...it sounds like it might just be the next Twilight in terms of comedic value.

Yeah, considering it's Cage, He's probably thinking something on the lines of "I can get a lot of money from these superstitious loons without even trying!"

Cage gives so few fucks he might as well be a honey badger.

He agreed to do the movie "Drive angry" purely because the script said his character has his eyes shot out in a scene and he had wanted to do such a scene in his previous movie but had been refused.

Honestly, I think he is a good actor but it is obvious that he does not care wether a movie would he stars in is good or not, he just wants to have fun. (And I suppose he makes a decent living as well with those contracts.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

he just wants to have fun.

And that makes for some of the best movies sometimes.  It's obvious when an actor enjoys what they do.  Cage does goofy shit.  Trejo does schlock.  Connery does serious stuff.  McKellan does epic.  And fuckDAMN, do I love them for it!

It looks like they're doing a better job showing the chaos the Rapture would cause than the book did, but I wonder how they're going to handle the scintillating details of the characters' travel logistics?

What the fuck is wrong with Cage? is he just greedy or is he really hard-up for cash?

He doesn't care about what roles he gets nowadays.  Man's pretty much set for life and can just take whatever role takes his fancy.

Ironbite-course I'll always remember him best for setting his skull on fire.

I actually enjoyed National Treasure.  Haven't seen the sequel and don't plan to.
