Nicolas Cage Is Keen To Do More Sci Fi

Nicholas Cage has said he is trying to stay away from violent films and instead is more interested in science fiction projects.
“At this point in my life I have made a series of movies with a hieroglyphic of my face and a gun. I had a serious look at a couple of movies, one that I pulled out, because I felt, at this point, I didn’t want to kill a person on camera.”.
“I was trying to think about ways I could entertain you, hopefully give you some sort of escape, which I think in this day and age is very important, without having to resort to gratuitous violence. Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.”
According to Cage his latest sci-fi movie, Knowing, met all the criteria in the types of projects he wants to involve himself with.
“It also gave me a chance to go to where I want to now dance, which is science fiction, fantasy and intelligent horror. I want to make more of these types of movies because of the metaphor, I don’t have to shoot people.
If you’re wondinerg how he feels about violent sci-fi films, he has an answer for that too.
“That’s not to say I won’t do that again in a movie, perhaps I will be more thoughtful about it.”
