Does anyone doubt this is going to be a narrowcasting project and a low-quality production (for a Nic Cage filrm)?

Sure it could break out like Gibson's movie.  One chance in a couple of hundred.  Other than that, it will be a low-grade script, low-grade production that pays some bills for Cage, satisfies an easily satisfied and limited audience, and that's about it.  All I ask is that it gets IPOd at H$30 or so, enabling me to make a few million by shorting it all the way to its Atlas Shrugged-like commercial fizzle.

What is the argument here?  This is a career-disaffirming moment for Nic Cage.  The film that is to result is relatively predictable.

IPO it so we can short it and make some money while a few fanboys ride it to the ground like Slim Pickens on that H-bomb.

Where's that Sir Michael Caine quote when you need it? {nm} DTravel Oct 19, 13:18

Potential IPO: Nick Cage in talks to star in my student class presentation {nm} dioneta Oct 19, 13:19

NCAGE still has to pay $4mill to the IRS... he is almost done (he paid them $6mill last June) {nm} RazorHawk Oct 19, 13:19

so starring in a Christian movie is "hitting the bottom"? {nm} Oleg Max Oct 19, 13:28

I would agree that this film would seem to actually have a built-in audience, unlike many of Cage's recent "efforts" {nm} BSmurf Oct 19, 13:33

Do you see any other A-list or even B-list actors appearing in Christian films? MGIBS had to produce his own. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:33

so what? starring in NMPHO is the definition of hitting the bottom. Oleg Max Oct 19, 13:36

Ah no, not accrding to Hollywood. Von Trier is an auteur that atrracts talent. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:40

maybe. but you still can't say or imply that staring in Christian movie is hitting the bottom. its offensive! {nm} Oleg Max Oct 19, 13:43

Starring in human centipede is hitting bottom. {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 13:45

I laughed. {nm} Capitals Oct 19, 13:52

Are them making a movie based on the hit video game Centipede? {nm} elchan Oct 19, 13:52

Is that an IPO idea? {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 13:54

I like that Michael Jackson song! {nm} RazorHawk Oct 19, 13:57

I can't believe this thread has been going for so long with no mention of Uwe Boll! {nm} RogerMore Oct 19, 14:46

Sorta depends on where you are cast along the human centipede, doesn't it? DTXbro Oct 19, 17:59

"the only thing left behind after this will be Cage's career." Most of blogosphere will share the same sentiment. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:47

The blogosphere isn't going to pay Nic Cage's tax bill for him. I'm guessing avoiding prison is higher on his priority list than reputation. {nm} Capitals Oct 19, 13:49

Exaclty, he's doing it only for the money. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:51

i don't care about most of blogoshpere. still waiting for your apology. you can't jump on other people when they say something Oleg Max Oct 19, 13:50

Movie critics agree that the Left Behind movies are poorly made. I didn't say anything offensive about Chrisitanity. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:54

I know what you said and you know what you implied: Left Behind is a Christian movie and starring in it is "hitting the bottom" is it not Oleg Max Oct 19, 14:00

well; it's not exactly aiming for cinematic heights now is it. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 19, 18:04

Come on Oleg Max the original film grossed a lifetime $4.2m which is a 'bottom' potential for Cage. DMac didn't say anything offensive IMHO {nm} grammar Oct 19, 13:51

grammar, it was offensive to me. {nm} Oleg Max Oct 19, 13:54

+1 Don't want to offend Muslims, but Christians, no problem. Typical liberal mentality. {nm} hawkfanatic2 Oct 19, 14:49

James Caviezel. Tilda Swinton. Liam Neeson. James Mcavoy. Catherine Hardwicke.Jack Guzman. Need more?? {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 13:53

CWWRB isn't a Fantasy, not a Christian movie. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:58

I meant LWWRB is a fantasy film. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 13:59

That's silly, a film can be both, and all the Chronicles are. Veggie Tales are animated fantasy, but Christian movies. {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 14:01

And that very quick partial list includes other movies as well. Your statement re A or B list actors was incorrect {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 14:02

The Christian films I meant are those contemporary inspiration films produced independently, not the historical biblical epics. Antibody Oct 19, 14:07

Ah. So by christian films you really mean inependently produced, low budget christian films. why isn't being in ANY forlorne Oct 19, 14:15

Fair or not, mainstream Hollywood believes there's a stigma to those films. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 14:19

how is that relevant to your saying no a or b list actors appear in xian films? {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 14:44

How is it not relevant? Agents won't let their A or B actors star in these movie or they might not get a Hollywood film again. {nm} Antibody Oct 19, 15:00

While hollywood might LIKE to attach a stigma to it, the 2 lists I provided say otherwise. Are those actors stigmatized? {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 15:52

Look under "Christian films" at Box Office Mojo. {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 14:04

Peter O'Toole. Omar Sheriff.John Rhys-Davies.Idris Elba.Dermot Crowley.Christopher plummer.Robin Lively.Michael bolton. More? {nm} forlorne Oct 19, 14:12
