Nicolas Cage er... ja, han er Nicolas Cage, og hans karriere er efterhånden ret legendarisk, både på den gode og den dårlige måde. Efter hans selvransagende og selvbevidste rolle i The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, samt en række få roller siden, så lader det dog til at han føler at han har gjort det i filmbranchen han skulle.
I et interview med Vanity Fair fortæller Cage, at han trækker sig fra filmroller nu, men vil fortsætte med at lave TV:
"I do feel I've said what I've had to say with cinema. I think I took film performance as far as I could. I was taking stock of how much time I had left. I thought, Okay, my dad died at 75, I'm going to be turning 60. If I'm lucky, I have maybe a good 15 years and hopefully more. What do I want to do with those 15 years, using my father as the model? It occurred very clearly to me that I want to spend time with my family."
Så alt tyder på at vi kommer til at se mindre til Cage generelt, men han nævner at TV-roller er mere interessante nu.
