Which Witch Is WITCH?? There's A Teaser For SEASON OF THE WITCH (Unrelated To HALLOWEEN III) Online Now!! Watch Nic As Knight!!

Published at:  Oct 22, 2009 10:03:18 AM CDT


Merrick here...




A while back, we told you about a new Nicolas Cage project in which he'd play a knight charged with transporting a "witch" through treacherous Medieval territory.

IGN now has a teaser for the film. Lots of noise and jumpy things here - looking a little lower rent than I'd envisioned upon first hearing the premise. What do you think?

    Nic Cage is so frustrating as an actor.

    by hint_of_smegma

    The guy is always at one of the two extremes - absolutely bloody brilliant (Bringing Out The Dead, Red Rock West, Wild At Heart, Raising Arizona, Lord of War) or absolutely fucking terrible (most everything else). I love his work to bits but fuck, I wish he had a better internal censor regarding which projects he picks.

    Cage is intersting in pretty much anything he has done, including the copious crappola flicks.

    Cage will only get worse now that he's nearly broke

    by juansanchez

    or supposedly nearly broke. Accountant apparently made bad investments and over-extended him. Cage claims he lead him to "financial ruin". He made $40 million last year and is in "financial ruin". That's bad. Just about anyone would focus on money jobs only until they get back on track. We'll see Ghost Rider 2, likely National Treasure 3, and a bunch of low rent flicks like Drive Angry that spend most of their budget on his salary.

    Cage always brings the goods

    by thot

    He knows what he's good at and what his audience wants. That's why he consistently drums up good box-office. Hard to say how this one will pan out, the trailer is short but sweet. Hopefully, it's not just a paint-by-numbers horror film.

    NIcholas Cage: He Knows Something

    by mattforce7

  • Oct 22, 2009 11:33:23 AM CDT

    He is not broke, he is in debt.

    by renoreno

    What he did, to declare financial ruin, is a normal step in the suit he is doing towards the firm (and accountant) that allegedly did wrong about his finances. To get them to pay he has to SCREAM they did wrong and what he is doing is basically saying "look, these guys adviced me so bad that it generated a big debt" that he can pay easily BUT why should he when it was the wrong doing of other people. So you carry that debt and scream financial ruin. Thats all.

    Next is fuckin' horrible. A movie about what DIDN'T happen?!?!? Fuck that. I'd like to see a movie about what DID happen.Who the fuck wants to see 1.5 hours of what COULD HAVE HAPPENED and never learn what DID happen? In a movie called NEXT!!! Oh, wait. According to the box office, the answer is fucking nobody in the U S of A.

    That movie sucked sweaty goat taint. It was a loose notion sewn together with the weakest of threads..then dipped in molten shit and served at room temperature with a side of willem defoe's severed cock. Be fucking serious people. Stop accepting garbage...which is all he puts out: Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous, Knowing. He does horseshit...just admit it to yourselves.

    I hate to admit it, but I liked it. It looks like shit, but at the same time like the kind that could be fun with a cold beer. Nic Cage has been producing a lot of shit this decade and I feel he needs to slug it out for awhile the b-movie muck to think about what he's done. Bees indeed.

    That reminds me of the time I watched Bangkok Dangerous at the stickyfoot theater. I was sitting in the theater next to C-No and gay Tom Cruise, I turned to C-No and said "that looks like Jettl93 quality work". Kurt Russell then laughed, so I knew it was ok.
