Nic Cage - NEVER afraid to go over the edge

[Find Your Magali]

But it's not easy to leave behind a life of girls, guns and glamour, when no-one wants you to stop, not even your enemies.

Tell me about it.

Cage's NEXT Project
Lee Tamahori will direct the action-thriller based on a story from sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick.

Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and action helmer Lee Tamahori are teaming up for their Next project. Cage will star in and produce and Tamahori will direct Next, an action-thriller based on the Philip K. Dick story "The Golden Man." Cage will produce with partner Norm Golightly through the pair's Saturn Films, with shooting likely to get underway next summer.

Gary Goldman, who'll serve as an executive producer on the project, will adapt the script from "Golden." Cage will star as a man with the ability to see the future and change events before they happen. He comes to regret his power, however, when he's forced to choose between saving himself or saving the world.

Goldman will executive produce with Jason Koornick, who holds the rights to the Dick story. At Revolution, Derek Dauchy will be overseeing the project.

Cage, Smith book trip to 'Time Share'
Source: Hollywood Reporter

Nicolas Cage and Will Smith are attached to star in and produce "Time Share," a comedy pitch by Mark Steilen that was picked up by Columbia Pictures.

"Time Share" follows two fathers who lock horns when they discover their families are booked into the same time share on what should have been their dream vacation.

Sources said Steilen's deal was in the range of $875,000 against $1.5 million.

The film will be produced by Cage and Norm Golightly via Saturn Films, Smith and James Lassiter through Overbrook Entertainment as well as John J. Strauss and Eric Tannenbaum.

Strauss and Tannenbaum developed the project with Steilen. They took it to Cage and Golightly at Saturn. Cage had been itching to do a project with Smith, and the two quickly fell for the idea. The package was then delivered to Columbia.

Nicolas Cage gives Superman's birth name to son
Mon Oct 3, 7:39 PM ET


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar-winning actor
Nicolas Cage's wife of 14 months gave birth on Monday to the couple's first child together, a son they named Kal-el -- a moniker recognized by comic book fans as the birth name of Superman.

The child's delivery in New York City and his full name, Kal-el Coppola Cage, were confirmed by the actor's publicist, Annett Wolf, who said of the family, "They are healthy and happy and it's quite lovely."

No further details were released, including how the actor and his wife, Alice Kim Cage, were inspired to borrow from the mythology of Superman in naming their child.

Cage is known as an avid comic book devotee who once sold his personal collection, including a copy of Superman's 1938 pulp debut, at auction for more than $1.6 million.

The nephew of famed filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, the actor adopted his own stage surname from the Marvel Comics superhero Luke Cage.

Cage also was at one time slated to star in a Superman movie under the direction of Tim Burton, a project that ultimately was scrapped and replaced by a newer Warner Bros. remake expected for release next summer.

The 41-year-old actor and his wife, a former sushi waitress about 20 years his junior, met at a nightclub last year before marrying on July 30, 2004.

Cage has a 15-year-old son, Weston, by a prior relationship with actress Kristina Fulton. His previous marriages to actress Patricia Arquette and singer Lisa Marie Presley ended in divorce. Kal-el is his current wife's first child.

The prolific performer won an Academy Award as best actor for his 1995 role as an alcoholic bent on suicide in "Leaving Las Vegas." In his latest film, "Lord of War," he portrays an arms dealer.

"Time Share" follows two fathers who lock horns when they discover their families are booked into the same time share on what should have been their dream vacation.

So if they're both producing it, that means they have faith in the movie, then?

They aren't just accepting a role in a bad movie, which every actor/actress does at some point, but they're funding it, too?

[Ravi]

I doubt they're actually paying for it to get made.  They probably think it will be a hit and want a cut of the money it makes.
