#sadface. Nicolas Cage says he’s done with movies, and wants to try out TV for a change. Citizens of the world, rise up, and explain to Nicolas Cage that he’s a Hollywood icon who needs to continue making amazing movies like Gone In Sixty Seconds, Face/Off, The Rock, and all of the National Treasure movies!
Nicolas Cage has “acted”in more than 100 films, and I use air quotes there because sometimes he just phones it in in his performances like in the 2014 movie Left Behind or the or the 2019 movie Grand Isle which I’ll bet most people have never even heard of, but I digress. Other times he absolutely crushes it, like in the 1995 movie Leaving Las Vegas which Nicolas Cage won an Oscar for.
In a recently published interview with Uproxx Nicolas Cage said “I feel I’ve pretty much said what I’ve had to say with cinema.” I would say, ‘Adios.’ I did what I had to do with cinema and I want to move on now.”
Nicolas Cage is contracted to act in 4 more movie projects, then he said he’s hopeful for a post-film career that will allow him to switch formats and go into some other way of expressing his acting.
On the topic of acting on TV he went on to say “I am very interested in immersion streaming with episodic television. I have seen things that can be done now with characters and the time they’re given to express themselves. I might have something to learn in television”
So there you have it. Nicolas Cage might be hanging up his movie acting career, but the way I look at it, we still have over 100 of his movies he’s acted in that we can enjoy binge watching, and just thinking of how good TV shows he chooses to act in will be. I’m so pumped for Nicolas Cage’s future career in TV.
