The Nicolas Cage discussion thread

[zeptron]

I was hoping we'll see him with the flaming skull. Picture looks cool.

this whole blonde vs dark hair debate is kind of interesting, as everyone has written some valid points on both sides.
wait til the dvd comes out because you never know, there might be behind the scenes costume designs. i'm thinking of blade 2 here where damaskinos had the blonde wig, but opted for the bald look rather than look like michael bolton (I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue).
maybe the costume designer tried the blonde look for Nic and it just didn't go over well, so they settled on the current look?
who knows, but as i said, it's an interesting debate.
"you know, you can just call me Mike." hahahaha.

Let Me SEE HIM IN FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

[Mister Sinister]

Really wierd. The first official Superman and the first official Ghost Rider pics are released. The Ghost Rider one is better. WTF?

 

[panzertank]

Not that I'm angry or anything, but doesn't his hairstyle remind you guys of ben in daredevil. the kind or scruffed up look. I don't know why I thought of that, must be the MSJ thing, but o well. Looks good. yeah and the superman boards are flaming right now, see what I did there, hahaha...funny. Can't wait for this movie, both bike and nic look sweet.

 

[crystal_flame6]

I can't wait to see what else they release. I wonder if it will be a poster, part of the script, or another picture.

Yeah, I can see a resembelance, hair-wise. I remember MSJ saying in the DD commentary that he made Affleck's hair like that to add a bit of "anime" influence. Maybe that's what he's kind-of going with here?

By the way, when will we see a bigger picture of this?

 

[Fantastic-Boy]

He looks so lean on this pic.

 

[Chris Wallace]

He looks more like a slightly older Ketch than Blaze.

 

[Wonderman]

How friggin bizarre. My damn dog is named Panzertank!

I think he looks great. Way better than that ****ty Superman pic.

Can they even show us a pic of Johnny in flaming skull mode? I thought htat was going to be CGI.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I think they will have Cage performing GR stuff on set in a blue-suit type dealie for two reasons:

1. It give the actors on screen with him someone to interact with.
2. You can get a little of Nic's performence as GR into the final model.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

oh d*** i'm glad i checked before i posted this pic. I think he looks great and HOT! did they put hair extentions on him?

 

[DieselPower]

I think when he has sold his soul to the devil...and he gets the flaming skull...Nic Cages acting limitations will probably be similar to Andy Serkis' (Gollum/Smeagol) in LOTR.

 

[skorponok]

That's not the Johnny Blaze I know. Cage looks like a druggie.

YOU ACTUALLY KNOW BLAZE?!??!?!

 

[Caliber]

YOU ACTUALLY KNOW BLAZE?!??!?!

He looks like Blaze that I know.

 

[Retroman]

Cage looks great as Blaze. I don't understand the fuss about his hair. Derogitary comments like 'druggie' are completly unnecessary and unbased.

 

[Retroman]

Latino Review have posted a hi-res version of that shot.

[spider-jide]

I would have preferred Johnny Depp.

Appreciate what we've got.

 

[spider-jide]

Nic Cage is going to rule in this.

 

[NecroManiac]

Johnny Depp ths, Johnny Depp that.......
The guy is good but I don't whant to see him in EVERYTHING!!!!
Sure, let's clone Johnny Depp and make him appear in everything!
Including diaper commercials....
That would be awsome, like Ashton Kutcher awsome!!!
Then he could team up with Ben Stiller in The Mighty Ducks 23: The revenge of Samuel L. Jackson........

Nicolas Cage is Johnny Blaze. Deal with it!

Agreed. Cage looks fine and so far everything looks perfect.

 

[The Lizard]

trust me ive been in the superboards all day ,the few druggie comments are mild compared to the venom in there

Doesn't it kinda suck that the first pic of the Hellcycle got overshadowed right away by the release of the Superman "S" logo, and now this pic of Blaze is all but forgotten as everyone goes into a frenzy over the Routh-in-Supes-costume pic?

I'd laugh very hard if Ghost Rider ends up being the more popular movie.

yeah the \S/ wasn't in the same league as the Hellcycle exclusive yet favourtism took presidence and now this.The way i look at is Nic looks fine and it's another good step for the movie,The supersuit on the otherhand feels a bit like a warning alarm ,

 

[The Lizard]

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.
