Feb 23 2007Talks of More National Treasures, Prince of Persia
Nicolas Cage spreads himself silently and without warning.
To me, Nicolas Cage is the acting equivalent of herpes. He's not as deadly as an AIDS (Kevin Costner) or as brain damaging as a syphilis (Rob Schneider), but he's still a definite nuisance to say the least, and just when you think maybe he's gone, there's another breakout. Clearly our current medication isn't working, because now, after tolerating Wicker Man, Ghost Rider, and the soon-to-be-released Next, there are talks of two additional National Treasure sequels after the upcoming Book of Secrets. Cage hasn't officially been linked to the pictures, but I have to assume he would keep his role. He is, unofficially, the national treasure being referred to. So until someone invents a once-daily Valtrex for Nic Cage, we're just going to have to be careful when we go to the theater.
The story also notes that video game Prince of Persia could soon find its way to screens, but it remains unclear whether or not Nicolas Cage will ruin that.

Personally, I would not refer to Nicolas Cage as a plague at all. He is a talented actor. Just because he isn't a Hollywood Playboy doesn't mean that he doesn't have talent.

As long as it keeps him from ruining any more comic book adaptations I'm happy. Cage is way too old to play Ghostrider.
