CB: Over the past four years, Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas, Face/Off) has appeared in 15 films, with as many as five more in pre- and post-production. His financial woes are well documented, so you can understand why he has a hard time turning down film roles of late -- no matter how questionable they are. But there was a time when Cage was well respected and could pick and choose his roles much more carefully. One role he didn't choose to play was Aragorn "Strider" II Elessar.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer walked into the 96th Academy Awards and blew everyone away, winning seven Oscars on the night. But is it Nolan's best film yet?
Cancel all proposed awards ceremonies and hand over the major gongs to Peter Farrelly's Ricky ;Stanicky.
Late Night with the Devil will be The Exorcist for a new generation.
This follows the story within a story rule.
I'm glad he didn't take the role. Viggo Mortensen did a phenomenal job with the role.
Thank f**k for that!! LOTR are my all time favourite movies. His dreary tones are enough to put anyone to sleep.
So glad Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf too. Wonder if he regrets it now, considering he would have made over 400 million from the role.
I think cinema as a whole dodged a bullet here.
