NIC CAGE DROPS OUT OF GREEN HORNET
09.09.09
Ever since Nic Cage won me over with is “this is my lucky crack pipe” line delivery in Bad Lieutenant, I’ve been dying to see him in anything that doesn’t involve magic, treasure, or Jerry Bruckheimer. Sadly, the forehead has left one such project, Seth Rogen’s comedic take on the Green Hornet.
Cage was to play the villain in Columbia’s action movie, being directed by Michel Gondry, but the actor and the studio were not able to come to terms on a deal. No scenes with Cage were on shot for the movie, which just began principal photography in Los Angeles last week. [THR]
Bummer about Nic Cage, but I’m sure he’ll manage to keep a stiff upper face about this whole thing, he always does. Also, and I’m just throwing it out there, there’s still time to cast the tranny Michel Gondry drew for me. Think about it. This is what Nic Cage would’ve wanted.

Even Cage knew the movie was going to suck walrus balls.
NO NOOOO! NOT THE HORNETS! NOT THE HORNETS!!!
Green Hornet is going to suck harder than Paris Hilton in a milkshake drinking contest.
When Nic Cage steps in dog shit, he yells at Weston Coppola to pick up his demo tapes.
…but the actor and the studio were not able to come to terms on a deal.
The problem is that Nic Cage said he had a number in his head and the studio exec went catatonic trying to ponder the sheer size of a number capable of fitting in Cage’s cranium.
TRUE STORY: I really want to play against Nic Cage on X-Box Live.
Like “really”.
Literally.
NIC CAGE DROPS OUT OF GREEN HORNET
I would actually go see this movie if Nic Cage was cast as the Green Hornet’s poo.
The hardest part about being Nic Cage is waking up in the morning with the entire wright of the world on your fucking forehead.
WRIGHT!?!?!
Fuck this Engrish bullshit.
Gondry-Cage Green Hornet would have been better than Hotel Rwanda on mushrooms. Give the man a jukebox or a pinball machine or whatever he’s asking for. This must happen.
When Nic Cage says “jump”, you had better-as-fuck say “then can we get off this goddamn trampoline?”.
No amount of pot smoked would make this movie good.
Being horny with gangrene is as close as I’m willing to get to this project.
chodin, you must be talking about luke cage, right?
fatality.
All the redheaded bitches at the junior high call my Cutlass Supreme the green, whore net.
Nic Cage left the project after finding out that his costume would consist mainly of the word “VILLAIN” written on his forehead with magic maker.
I heard that Nic Cage was pretty upset this deal fell through…but then he remembered that he was kinda in ‘Fast Times At Ridgemont High’ and started to feel better.
Green Hornet now a huge fan of Activia.
