We dissected the majesty of the movie’s screenplay before, but here’s your first glimpse of the documentary. Featuring Cage himself! https://gizmodo.com/proof-that-superman-lives-would-have-made-batman-robi-5981002

Sharknado was a ratings disaster as brutal as… well, a Sharknado

Everybody was talking about the premiere of Syfy’s TV movie Sharknado on Twitter last night. But as it turns out, apparently no one actually bothered to watch it. The movie was seen by just over a million people, unequivocally making it a complete bomb (…that was then launched into a Sharknado). Despite inspiring over 600,000…

Are the latest ridiculous Nic Cage Superman test shots real or fake?

Who could forget the first insane image from Superman Lives, the Tim Burton and Nic Cage Superman movie that never was. Cage was wearing the shiny skin of a 1990s action figure, his brown mane cascading down his shoulders. It was exactly the kind of wrong we craved from a Cage and Burton superhero project.…

Nic Cage’s Ghost Rider deleted scenes show his insane commitment to be the flaming skull

We are in love with these deleted scenes from Nic Cage’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Especially because they show how Nic Cage looked when he was acting with a fully lit head. It’s pretty spectacular — especially when you watch Cage try and suck our your soul. [Via Comic Book Movie]

Theft of Nic Cage’s Action Comics No. 1 to become a movie, but not starring Nic Cage

In 2000, Nicolas Cage’s copy of Action Comics No. 1, featuring the first appearance of Superman, was stolen, not to reappear until 2011. Now a comedic heist movie based on the theft is in the works, but it sounds like Cage won’t be playing himself. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Lionsgate has picked up…

Upcoming Movie Sequels that Are More Pointless than Ghost Rider 2

This month is like exhibit A for Hollywood’s propensity to churn out sequels that nobody asked for. You’ve got Journey 2, opening today.

Can the latest Ghost Rider 2 trailer overcome the film’s bad buzz?

According to a few online reports a special screening of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance at the BNAT was met with a resounding “meh.” Mostly due to the muddled script, and the seen-it-before characters. However the Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor did get a lot of praise for their daredevil camera angles and…

Toy concept art for Tim Burton’s scrapped Superman movie is like design Kryptonite

It’s kind of hard to imagine that there are more ridiculous design ideas for Tim Burton’s Superman Lives than the stuff we’ve already seen, including the light-up disco suit and the Nic Cage test shots. But some newly released concept art may actually beat everything. A few of the concept designers who were working at…
