The Nicolas Cage discussion thread

[Cole Burns]

I'm a little surprised nobody has said it yet but I'm sure we are all thinking it....

Congratulations to Nick and his wife on the birth of lil Kal-El and its awesome to hear mother and son are doing well. There can't be many things more nerve-racking in life then waiting for the arrival of a baby, so its good to know they have come through it with a healthy baby boy. All the best.


Now that been said, does anyone really believe that bullies will pick on Kal once they find out his dad is Ghost Rider!

 

[Uncanny Orb]

True Dat!

 

[Spaz350]

Could be a lot worse, I heard Jermaine Jackson named his firstborn son Jermajesty!

Besides, at least Kal-El is a suerhero's name, he could have been Mephistopheles Cage...

 

[Wakandan_Devil]

Look at David Hayter(Solid Snake) He named his daughter after Natasha Romanov a.k.a The Black Widow.

 

[Sam Fisher]

I'm sure "Kal-El" will want a name change when he grows up.

 

[spider-jide]

how is it weird? celebs have been giving their kids the strangest names for a long time now. and kal-el coppola cage sounds majorly badass...

What would be ironic is if he grows up to be a pu$$y.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

I'm sure "Kal-El" will want a name change when he grows up.

Nope. He will just go by Kal Cage.

 

[Robot Komakino]

thats such a cool name.

 

[BURNFOREVER]

Kal-El is a very cool name.
And of course the kid will not be called Kal-El Cage, Nic´s last name is Copolla, everybody knows that.
Kal-El Copolla... how powerful is that!
Nic Cage is cool.
A guy who have this passion for the comics universe, like myself, have my respect.
But of course i´d like to see his baby called Blaze Copolla.
Wow...
Anyway, best of luck and health to the baby and cheers to our Johnny Blaze!

 

[TheVileOne]

I think the way celebrities give their kids ridiculous names like this is disgusting.

I'm sorry but Kal-El? God...I mean...really. I guess Cage is still pissed he could never play Superman so he's got to take it out on his baby boy. Cage...don't punish your son for something you were never able to do.

Poor Baby.

What a simple & stupid name.

This reminds me to Gwineth Paltrow´s Daughter called Apple.

 

[Abe]

Worst still, he could've called his son TotalPackage Cage! Bwahahahahahaha!
Ah, all in good fun.

Hmmm... I just found this here; http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1510963/story.jhtml

With a moniker derived from superhero Luke Cage and a newborn son sharing the name Kal-el with Superman (the Man of Steel's Kryptonian birth name), Nicolas Cage takes his comic books very, very seriously. Appropriately, then, Cage kept July's Marvel flick "Ghost Rider" as loyal to the source material as possible. "It's pretty faithful to the original story line," Cage insisted, saying that the only major change is the death that fuels his mission. "In this case, I believe it's not my girlfriend's father, it's [Johnny Blaze's] father who passes away at the beginning." ...

Um... I'm not sure what he's talkin' about here. It was his father that passed away at the beginning...

In the comics Blaze was adopted by his girlfriends actual dad. Blazes real dad died earlier and had nothing to do with the GR stuff

 

[FlameHead]

Yes, but I'm wondering if they're changin' Roxanne to be someone other than a Blaze.

And his fathers death does have something to do with it. He would have never been tangled up with the circus or anything if his actual father didn't die. I guess all they're doing is gettin' rid of that part of the story and makin' Barton his father all along.

 

[Riding Ghost]

Yes, but I'm wondering if they're changin' Roxanne to be someone other than a Blaze.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, I'm just trying to help but you do realize Roxannes last name is Simpson

And his fathers death does have something to do with it. He would have never been tangled up with the circus or anything if his actual father didn't die.

good point

yeah, streamlining, makes sense, and doesn't do any harm really IMO

 

[FlameHead]

Right, Simpson. My stuipd mixup there... Crash's daughter... which I'm wonderin' if she will be or not in this one?

 

[Riding Ghost]

Ah, I see, that is a good question.
I would venture to speculate that since they are not using Crash as Blazes adopted father, that they probably won't address who roxannes father is at all. Guess we'll have to wait and see though.

 

[FlameHead]

That sounds about right to me.

 

[FlameHead]

I was watchin' Dave tonight (of the Letterman kind) and Nic was his first guest. He didn't talk about the GR movie but he did mention the comic at one point when talkin' about his son's name w/ Dave.

"I was more of a Marvel guy growin' up. I was into the monsters like Ghost Rider and The Hulk"

Not much... but it's something for this news drought we're now in.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Those talk shows nowadays are so scripted and dull. They give the guests only current topics to discuss and we rarely learn anything new or interesting. So I am not surprised he didn't talk about it.

 

[Vartha]

Yeah, I agree, when it's this far away from the movie hitting the screens I don't think there'd be too much for Nic to talk about. I can't wait for them to finish more GR transformation sceens, I want to see how they handle Nic's face going from Blaze to GR.

 

[Mr Nick]

Absolutely! The thing I'm most excited about in the entire film is the transformation.

Yeah I saw that. Dave wouldn't stop praising the movie non-stop for 15 minutes eating up all the time. I'm sure Nic would have ellaborated but it's no biggie. We're talking next July for Ghost Rider and Weaterman comes out this Friday.

 

[FlameHead]

Yeah, Nice isn't on a promo circut for GR yet so he's not going to talk about it yet... much anyway. I'm sure if somebody asked him about it, he would.

I'm excited about that as well. One thing I've always been hoping for is an awesome transformation scene with Blaze in agony as his face melts off. I'm really hoping to see this happen slowly at least once.
