Nicolas Cage Joins (Another) Comic-Book Film
Tue, July 21, 2009 
Nicolas Cage loves comic-book movies. He supposedly got his stage name from Luke Cage and has been attached to various properties over the years ranging from Iron Man to Astro Boy. And of course, he was Ghost Rider two years ago (and now talking up a storm for a sequel) and will soon appear in Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass. Oh, there was that little thing of him almost being Superman!?! Somewhere...deep within the vaults of Warner Brothers is footage of Cage in the suit. And like the cursed tape in The Ring, you die soon after watching said footage.
Anyway, Cage is now in talks to join the cast of The Green Hornet for director Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen who will play the title superhero as well as co-wrote the film with writing-parter Evan Goldberg.
Say you will about his (odd) choice of roles in the last couple of years. But I will give Cage this. Unlike some (De Niro immediately comes to mind), it's not like Cage is ever "phoning it in!"

Wow....just when I thought my anticipation for this film couldn't get any lower.
