Nicolas Cage recently revealed that he felt 'marginalized' by the studio system. He also doesn't plan to watch his upcoming film 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.'
After a decade or so marred by starring roles in flimsy tent poles and not-so-great blockbusters—please, no one mention the bees—the actor has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence with parts in outré indie flicks: think Mandy, Color Out of Space, and Willy's Wonderland. Now, he's grabbing accolades and acclaim left, right, and center for his starring role in debut director Michael Sarnoski's Pig, a revenge drama about an ex-chef trying to find his beloved stolen swine.
“It was my aunt Talia Shire [Connie Corleone in The Godfather films] who first said to me, ‘Naturalism is a style.' And I was also a big believer in arts synchronicity, and that what you could do with one art form you could do and another meaning. You know, in painting, for example, you can get abstract, you can get photorealistic, you can get impressionistic, why not try that with film performance?”Audiences can next expect to see Cage in what promises to be his Cage-iest performance yet.
