The Nicolas Cage discussion thread

[Hunter Rider]

I honestly want the Superman movie to be good, and I don't consider it in direct competition with GR anyway, since the two films are quite different, but the GR fans have less to worry about right now than the Supes fans IMO.

My sentiments exactly Lizard It will be unlikely GR will outperform SR but it may well be the better movie

Just so you know, that's not really a new pic folks. We've chatted about that (and the others that went along with it which can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wafonso/sets/254747/) in the set reports thread at one time.

Looked around and didn't see any sign of this over here so i just thought I'd post a link. Nothing really special but its the first official still photo of blaze.

Oh, and if this is a repeat thread, any mod please close it.

Ah ****, my bad, just looked at the SHH front page and its there... my bad.

 

[Fantastic-Boy]

SHH update for a much-better version!

 

[LadyVader]

He looks like he lost a lot of weight.
Either that o he's sucking his cheeks.

STOP STARING AT MY WIG, DAMMIT!​

It's amazing how negative some of the comments are, especially on Ain't It Cool. Who the heck cares about the hairpiece!!? Nic Cage is a top actor and he has a love for the character. That's the important thing.


I'm more concerned about Ghost Rider's look. The hellcycle looks awesome, so I hope Ghostie does too. None of that squinty eye sockets or day-glo jumpsuit crap from some of the 90's comics.

 

[Decypher]

Sure, let's clone Johnny Depp

Skeet Ulrich

in that pic nicks face kinda looks skeliton like cause its so boney , maybe they gave him makup to give a skull like look to his face so it goes together better when he changes into ghost rider

yeah its crappy only took me 5 minutes

 

[hellfiremaster]

Appreciate what we've got.

Thats right.. this could be Billy Zane, Leo DeCaprio, Matt Damon, Patrick Swayze, or maybe worse yet, Keannu Reeves. There are a plethora of worse choices.. and only one or two better.

man...i stopped reading those talkback comments years ago...they post negative comments just for the sake of being negative. its almost like a contest on who can come up w/ the best one liner against a film....and if there is just one small bad aspect of something they harp on it constantly and ignore anything that is positive.
there are legit gripes and positive comments from time to time but they seem to get drowned out by all of the foul language and insults. i got tired of reading that $%^& after just a few pages.

 

[Vartha]

looks awesome

He looks like a cross between Ketch and Blaze to me

you and that head AMW lol

 

[tamron]

Cage looks great. I'd bet that CGI is part of why Cage's face looks sunken, and also, I think that 'druggie' look makes sense for a stunt rider like JB. He's been around, he should look worn to a degree.

 

[Spider-Who?]

looks awesome

hey! he stole my hair style! well....i can't blame him...it does look damn good.

 

[AmerikazMostWanted]

you and that head AMW lol

haha im trying to find a new head but just pasted that one on for now its hard finding good skulls.

 

[crystal_flame6]

I agree. They probably made his face look sunken in to help with the CGI and give them something to go off of. It will also help them if GR needs to move his jaw. Plus it makes it look like Nic's been threw a whole bunch of crap and doesn't look to thrilled to have to do it again or put up with people.

 

[crystal_flame6]

I think that it is mainly going to be Nic's body with a CGI skull. The CGI team will probably use Nic's face as a template for the skull. So he might have more to do with GR than you think.

 

[Wonderman]

Nic Cage is INCAPABLE of slacking thru ANY creative endeavor

 

[Weadazoid]

Considering how much Nick Actualy loves the Ghost rider comics I don't think he is going to slack through this role.

Nick is realy the first actor who has an avid love of the character he will be portraying

 

[KenK]

Yeah, consider the fact that the man's stage name was taken from a Marvel Comic!! That's how die-hard the man is! I think he'll give it his all, 'cause he's been dying to do a comic book movie for years!

Nick is realy the first actor who has an avid love of the character he will be portraying

Uh, Ben Affleck made his love of Daredevil very well-known during the filming of Daredevil. And anytime Michael Chiklis has talked about playing the Thing, he's mentioned his love of the character, so Cage wouldn't be the first.

 

[crystal_flame6]

But do any of them have a huge tatto of the character on their shoulder? I think Nic is the first to carry it that far, and let's not forget his impressive collection of the comics.

 

[panzertank]

You know, I hope they pull of the skull effect well, because I can't think of a movie where the skulls were done well. Most come off cartoony.
By the way wonderman, are you serious you named your dog panzertank or just panzer, cause although it is my name it is a bit repetitive, panzer being german for tank. So my name is tanktank, just wondering.
Plus anyone know if this is the cycle that he rides as ghost rider, where it changes into the hellcycle, or is that completely differet. I just noticed the chains on the back and was curious.

 

[Wonderman]

Yo Panzertank!

You're right. The name Panzertank is indeed a bit repetitive. Technically my dog's name on his AKC papers is Panzer Goodboy. He's a Brindle Boxer and when we got him at 6 weeks we realized he was built like a TANK, all muscle. Being a german breed, the name Panzer was begotten.
