Nic Cage is to acting what Fast & Furious is to cinema
Cage is a Coppola. Mind blowing how talent skipped over him completely. Then again, Sofia isn't anything to rave about.
Read up on it some time last week. Checked to see what was available on Starz or Encore (I forget which channel it's on) it was already underway so I figured after I bang out this 2nd season of Peaky Blinders (among a few other things) I'd check it out.Master Zik Have you been watching The Missing?
Stop it.Nic Cage is to acting what Fast & Furious is to cinema
Stop the insanity Frank. Going too far.Cage is a Coppola. Mind blowing how talent skipped over him completely. Then again, Sofia isn't anything to rave about.
I think he'd make a dope Frank Castle, but I cant see them funding another Punisher
Bond 24 title/cast announcement tomorrow.
Bond 24 Is ‘Spectre'; Christoph Waltz, Andrew Scott, Monica Bellucci Join Cast

And, now we know. Director Sam Mendes has revealed the title for Bond 24 which will be Spectre. Mendes made the announcement this morning from the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios where the film will shoot along with London, Rome, Mexico City, Tangier, Erfoud and the Austrian Alps.
The newest cast members are confirmed as Christoph Waltz, Andrew Scott, Dave Bautista, Monica Bellucci and Léa Seydoux. Daniel Craig will of course return as Bond along with Rory Kinnear as Tanner, Ben Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Miss Moneypenny and Ralph Fiennes as the new M.
Oscar winner Waltz will play Oberhauser, while Blue Is The Warmest Color‘s Seydoux is Madeleine Swann and Bellucci is Lucia Sciarra. (Bellucci is a nice get for the Bond folks who I hear have been eyeing her for a role for a long time.) Guardians Of The Galaxy‘s Bautista is playing Mr Hinx and Sherlock‘s Scott is Denbigh.
Interstellar cinematograther Hoyte Van Hoytema will shoot the film with Mendes. And that same film’s Lee Smith is joining as editor. Also rolling in is the Aston Martin DB10 which was designed specially for Spectre.
The logline for the new film is: “A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.” (Check out the animated title sequence below.)
Bond aficionados may recognize the title from the 007 canon. It’s an acronym for “Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.” A global crime organization, it’s previously been led by evil genius Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the Ian Fleming novels, who also appears in the films From Russia With Love, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever and For Your Eyes Only.
There had been speculation that Waltz would play him in this 24th Bond movie, but his character name would seem to dispel that — unless it’s a ruse. Bond lore has it that Hannes Oberhauser was an Austrian climbing and skiing instructor who taught a young James while he was on breaks from Fettes College. They formed a strong father-son relationship, but Oberhauser mysteriously disappeared.
The Daily Mail has reported that Waltz will be introduced as Franz Oberhauser, Hannes’ son, but later be revealed as Blofeld. (A long-running legal battle was settled last year between the producers and the estate of Kevin McClory which involved rights to the character and other elements of the 007 franchise.) Ers
Spectre hails from EON Productions, MGM, and Sony Pictures Entertainment with Mendes directing his second Bond film after global blockbuster Skyfall. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are producers. John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are writers. Spectre releases on November 6, 2015.
So he understood Zardoz???I am too, but glad he's accepted it.
It reminds me of Sean Connery.
He was offered a role in The Matrix, but he didn't understand the screenplay, so passed.
He was offered a role in Lord of the Rings, but he didn't understand the screenplay, so passed.
He was offered a role in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, he didn't understand the screenplay, but no way he was passing again.
Well........
Monica Bellucci. In a Bond film.
