Nicolas Cage will make his next film the action-thriller "Crazy Dog" which is currently in pre-production, with Joe Ruben set to direct reports Production Weekly.
Henry Bean and Nick Kazan penned the script which revolves around a New York City cop (Cage) who causes the death of a friend in a moment of cowardice.
Consumed by guilt, he goes on a self-destructive spree but then seeks redemption. Cage is expected to then reprise his role as treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates, in the sequel "National Treasure II: The Book of Secrets" which begins shooting this Spring.
