Trailer here.

Release Date: April 1st, 2005 (wide)

Cast: Nicolas Cage (Dave Spritz), Michael Caine (Robert Spritz), Hope Davis (Noreen Spritz), Gemmenne de la Peqa (Shelly), Nicholas Hoult (Mike), Michael Rispoli (Russ), Judith McConnell (Lauren), David Darlow (Robert's Friend)

Premise: Popular Chicago weatherman, Dave Spirtz, has a shot at the big time when a national morning television show calls him for an audition. Professionally, Dave is on top of the world, but his personal life is in complete disarray. Dave's painful divorce, his dad's illness and trouble with his kids have him poised on the knife's edge between stability and disaster. The harder he tries to control events, the more he finds life, like the weather, is completely unpredictable.

Cage should stop doing action films.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

the trailer feels like THE FAMILY MAN meets ADAPTATION to me.  this is probably how it was pitched to by producers to movie executives.

Actually, I don't remember hearing it in there. Those Iggy songs were Night Clubbing and Lust For Life.

But it's not in the film. The Trainspotting #2 soundtrack is music that "inspired the filmmakers or (have) been inspired by the film."

I used it in a movie I did called "Our Blue Marshmallow."

The Weather Man looks pretty decent.

LOVE THE CAGE.  this looks different.  i will see this.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.
