Whilst the surname Cage isn't exactly a common one, in entertainment land it pops up often enough that its justified a movie news item of its very own.
First up the most famous Cage on the planet, Nic Cage is hard at work on the Jerry Bruckheimer mega-budget actioneer "National Treasure" about a hidden treasure which can be found from clues hidden within the original U.S. Constitution document. Today 'Babbling Brook' revealed details of the very elaborate sounding ending sequence being shot right now - SPOILERS ahead so turn away if you don't want to know:
"Jerry Bruckheimer Films is shooting a scene for "National Treasure" the last week of January in the frigid, high plains of Utah. Nicolas Cage's character and others are trekking in the Antarctic to find an 18th Century ship. They find it frozen 20ft down in ice and the ship is quite dilapidated. They accidentally set the ship on fire, which ignites the gunpowder and the ship is blown to smithereens".
In news of another Cage, Marvel's Kevin Feige recently spoke with <a href="http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0401/14/index.htm" target="_blank">Comics Continuum</a> about their upcoming film adaptations including the much anticipated "Luke Cage" project: "Ben Ramsey turned in one of the best drafts that I have ever read. It's going to have a totally unique flavor from all of our films. It's totally contemporary Cage and a helluva lot of fun".
Feige confirmed a director or star has yet to be attached, but Cage's signature "Sweet Christmas" is part of the film although this isn't a retro-movie. "All of the movies we've done take place in modern day, but it's about finding a hip and contemporary way to get in some of those classic references"
