    Dayyyum Nicholas Cage is in alot of movies lately!

    I heard this dude was broke, I guess he cut his fee in half and now is doing a movie a week

    Sorceror's Apprentice, Season of the Witch, Drive Angry, Trespass, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, Ghost Rider 2....I mean what the ****, how long does it take to make each of these 150 million dollar movies like 2 weeks?

    I'm starting to think these 150 million dollar budgets are madeup, unless they're spending 10 mil a day on CGI it aint costin no 150 mil

    On July 14, 2009, the Internal Revenue Service filed documents in New Orleans in connection with a federal tax lien against property owned by Cage in Louisiana, concerning unpaid federal taxes. The IRS alleges that Cage failed to pay over $6.2 million in federal income tax for the year 2007.[37] In addition, the Internal Revenue Service has another lien for more than $350,000 in unpaid taxes dating from 2002 to 2004.[38] Cage filed a $20 million lawsuit on October 16, 2009, against his business manager, Samuel J. Levin, alleging negligence and fraud.[39] The lawsuit states that Levin "had failed to pay taxes when they were due and had placed [Cage] in speculative and risky real estate investments 'resulting in (the actor) suffering catastrophic losses'."[39] Cage is also facing separate lawsuits from East West Bank[40] and Red Curb Investments[41] for unpaid, multimillion dollar loans.

    If you're a Nicholas Cage special effects fan you're in luck, theres at least 3 movies at the theater all year long that you can watch. Enjoy!

    Sounds like he got sunk by the real estate crash

    Nick Cage will be advertising retirement communities in Arkansas in a couple years

    Think he's in financial trouble with the IRS, so he needs to make some cash asap.

    He needs the cash to pay back taxes. At least he's working his debt off instead of trying to cheat the system like Wesley Snipes did.

    Agreed, Im amazed that any of these films make a cent. Apparently ppl (as proven by Avatar) dont care about plots or acting anymore, they just want to watch some CGI cartoons on the screen for awhile and go home, big special effect movies have always made the most but they used to INCLUDE great acting now the acting is not even noticeable, sure Jaws had huge special effects but the movie is driven completely by the acting not by the shark. The movie industry is pathetic nowadays, when was the last Shawshank level movie made? Prolly 15+ years ago, now every big movie is just a cartoon

    Con Air was ok but if my gf sucked as hard as Face off Id ask her to be my wife

    Truth is since theyve gone to CGI they dont even care anymore, some plot they wrote up in a day and a couple days worth of bad acting in front of a green screen are added to 2 hours of CGI, cost somehow a 150 million (who knew CGI was so fuckin expensive), gross rev 300 mil, 2 weeks later dump the next load of shit on theaters

    Not true. After Con Air he did the following movies:

    Face Off
    Gone in Sixty Seconds
    Adaptation
    Matchstick Men

    I think it jumped with this heap of shit:

    He's in every movie known to man. To his credit he's had a very long career in Hollywood. Good for him if he can keep working and pay off his debts.

    This is def pay off the IRS stuff. Shows how much integrity Snipes has. They made him the same deal and he said "No way man, I will do the time rather than do the stuff Nic Cage is doing!!"

    He's getting a rep as a B movie actor which is going to kill his career, debt or or debt. Lord of War and Bad Luitenant are his only good films that come to mind from the last 10 years, which is not a good ratio considering he's been in every other movie that comes out.

    If any of you degenerates have not seen him in The Bad Lietenant: Port of Call New Orleans, I recommend you see it. It is Cage way over the top as you have never seen him before. Most guys on this board would love it.
