Nic Cage is 'Kick-Ass', as if You Didn't Know That
August 22, 2008 Comments
The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Nicolas Cage, Aaaron Johnson, and Lyndsy Fonseca have joined McLovin in the cast of Kick-Ass:
Written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., the Marvel Comics' Icon imprint book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.Johnson plays the dweeb and title character, while Fonseca plays the object of the teen's infatuation who believes Dave is gay. Cage is a former cop who wants to bring down a druglord and has trained his daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon.
Man, Nic Cage? I hear the comic is supposed to be pretty solid, but going in with Cage is like boxing with one arm behind your back, and that arm is held by wig glue and Wicker Man reviews.
Then again, I've got a good feeling Bangkok Dangerous will redeem him.
