With 3 movies lined up on the big screen within the next two weeks, Nicolas Cage just might win the busiest and most diligent man in Hollywood. The Daily Beast counts a total of 14, heard that right, 14 movie appearances, all lead roles, in the past 3 years. He's surely one very busy man.
Yahoo reports on Nicolas Cage's latest interview on his upcoming movies. The very busy actor describes his films as entirely divergent, distinct from each other. He adds that each piece is differentiated from the other, equally unique, equally astonishing in absolutely varying ways.
First in line is "Army of One", a comic piece led by Gary Faulkner played by Cage. Gary is a construction worker in America who is set to pursue a mission which he claims to be God's command. Gary leaves for Pakistan to terminate Osama bin Laden. The film is directed by Larry Charles (Borat).
The next entry is another collaboration between Cage and Paul Schrader, the revolutionary director whose masterpiece's include the Taxi Driver and the American Gigolo screenplays. The film entitled "Dog Eat Dog" tells the story of former jail-convicts endangering jail time once more as they kidnap the kid of the rival hoodlum of a Mafioso in Cleveland.
Finally, Cage treats us to his third film for the month, "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage". The World War II offering is the adaptation of the last moments of the fallen ships of war that delivered various pieces of the atomic bomb to US forces camps in the Pacific region. Cage is Captain Charles McVay III is the mighty captain that sunk with his ship after Japan's powerful submarines wrecked his ship.
