Nicholas Cage Wants a WICKER MAN Sequel. In Other News, Nicholas Cage is Bat S*it Crazy

I think I may get in trouble for my opening title, but I don’t think it comes without reason…Nicholas Cage has just come up with an idea that rivals “Springtime for Hitler”.

During a new web chat with Empire Online, Nicolas Cage said that he would be open to a sequel to THE WICKER MAN.  Yup.  That movie.  No, I’m not lying.  What makes that even worse is this quotation:

“I would like to hook up with one of the great Japanese filmmakers, like the master that made ‘Ringu,’ and take ‘The Wicker Man’ to Japan…Except this time he’s a ghost.”

*cough*  But wait, I’m not done yet.

Cage also spoke about some career choices he made back in the early 2000s, and how he turned down two major franchises:

“There were two movies that asked me to go to Australia or New Zealand for long periods of time. One was LORD OF THE RINGS and one was THE MATRIX…But I was actively involved at that time raising my family and I couldn’t really take that time out.”
