Nicolas Cage in Kick-Ass

Not in the lead but as an ex-cop



I just read an article from the Hollywood Reporter.  For a moment, I thought Nick Cage was set to play Dave, the lead.  I was ready to yell out "Noooooooooo!" but then saw that he's playing the role of an ex-cop.  Thankfully the lead will be played by an actor named Aaron Johnson. 

It makes perfect sense that this movie will be made.  Especially after the success of Wanted.  This movie can easily be made with a smaller budget.  No big special FX will really be needed.  It's a great comic. 

In a tiny bit of a spoiler for issue #4 (due next week), this is what his role will be:

Cage will play a former cop who, in his quest to bring down a druglord, has trained his teenage daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon.
