In what I'm sure will be another thing you can file under Bad Ideas, is Cage's upcoming project Kick-Ass, which is an adaptation of a graphic novel that is about to begin shooting. Cage's eloquent description of the film: "I play a guy named Damon and I'm the father of Mindy, who is Hit Girl and I'm Big Daddy and I'm training my daughter to become a superhero." Helpful. [The main character is a normal teenager who decides he wants to become a costumed hero like in the comic books, with painfully awesome consequences. The book's not bad, but the inclusion of Nicolas Cage is never a good sign. - Zach]

All this Nic Cage press is swirling to promote the remake of Bangkok Dangerous, which hits theaters tomorrow -- the awesome original draft of which I read several years ago. Being that Cage got on board, that great script probably got chained to a motorcycle and set on fire Ghost Rider-style, which pretty much describes Cage's last several years worth of projects and also my week. Thanks, dude.
