Dying of the Light (2014)

[Quasar Sniffer 4174]

Nicolas Cage does his best RAGE CAGE as he plays an aging/senile CIA agent living in fear of being... left behind. *rimshot*

You know, I would say, "Come on, Paul Schrader's directing it, give it a chance." But seeing as how it's been reported that the producers have recut it, I'll allow it.

I agree with sillstaw, I am looking forward to this one..

Here's Schrader's satement on the rec-cutting and such. It does not look good:

“We lost the battle. “Dying of the Light,” a film I wrote and directed, was taken away from me, redited, scored and mixed without my imput. Yesterday Grindstone (a division of Lionsgate) released the poster and the trailer. They are available on line. Here we are, Nick Cage, Anton Yelchin, Nic Refn and myself, wearing our “non-disparagement” T shirts. The non-disparagement clause in an artist's contract gives the owners of the film the right to sue the artist should the owner deem anything the artist has said about the film to be “derogatory.” I have no comment on the film or others connected with the picture.”

 

Celebrities respond the best way they know how: With t-shirts!

It's a bad sign when even Nicolas Cage is saying that a movie of his should've turned out better.

 

Still, I felt like their T-shirts needed a little enhancement...

I am really upset with myself that I didn't get the cage T-shirt when I had the chance.

 

Mind you they should of done the not the bees shirt.
