I haven't talked to Latt in a few months, but I'm guessing this is one that was thrown together in just a few weeks after the success of PA. I notice that they're releasing PE a week before PA hits the rental shelves in hopes of a confusing people who don't know better.... *sigh*
I remember the days when Asylum was the leading distributor of indie-cinema. Man, that seems like so long ago.
@Smeagol92055: LMAO AGREED!? and to @shauntacular: it's ok, I mean the acting is OK, but the dude holding the camera reminded me of Blair Witch "OMG YOU GUYS *BREATHS HARD* WHERE ARE YOU *BREATHS HARD* WHATS GOING ON *BREATHS HARD*" and that's home for about an hour
This just goes to show what kind of actor Nic Cage is. In the hands of a good director, Nic Cage makes movies like this. Or Matchstick Men.
In the hands of a bad director, you get Con Air. Nic Cage is the equivalent of sponge cake in the fridge. He absorbs the odors of whatever is sitting next to him.
I am still no closer to comprehending Tim Burton's decision to cast Nic Cage as Superman back in the day. I don't hate the idea of Cage as Superman, I just can't even wrap my head around the concept itself. I'm like a VHS player that keeps spitting out the tape.
@omgwtflolbbqbye: Yes, I agree- it's so strange an idea it just might have worked. But I have such a hard time picturing it, even if Burton was set on a black outfit sans cape, it still would have been a mind-expanding moment to see Cage wear the "S" shield.
According the the supposed casting list, Cage would have been one of many 'WTF's in Burton's movie.
If I remember correctly he wanted Chris Rock for Jimmy Olsen, Tim Allen (yea THAT Tim Allen)or Jim Carey for Brainiac, and Courtney Cox for Lois Lane (actually that would have been more boring than wierd).
But he was the first one to have the idea of casting Kevin Spacey for Luthor.
Ok, I whine how Nic Cage can't play anyone other than himself. Like, if Nic Cage was a thug in Con-Air, or Nic Cage was a mild manner FBI agent in The Rock. It gets kinda annoying, especially with films like Ghost Rider, where instead of playing Johnny Blaze, he played Nic Cage cosplaying Johnny Blaze.
However, after watching this clip, I realize why I like 1/2 of all Nic Cage movies. Because Nic Cage has presence and charisma that only Nic Cage can present. Like Steve Buscemi has a presence that only he has. And it's sometimes really fun to watch.
@Lunargent: What are you talking about. I don't even have a daughter. Oh wait. you weren't talking about me were you? I'm just going to go...sharpen my knives or something.
