Nicolas Cage wants to redefine what a Nicolas Cage movie means.

It was announced recently that Nicolas Cage is in talks to play an exaggerated version of himself in present day and a 90’s version of himself that he chastises for taking too many bad parts.

When talking about the former Oscar winner now, describing something as a Nicolas Cage movie or a very Nicolas Cage performance means that the film is quintessentially manic, usually subpar and intensely wild-eyed with a frail sensibility that would seem outlandish from anyone other than the Quixotic award-winning actor.

A Nicolas Cage comeback story that leapfrogs off critical acclaim for 2018’s “Mandy” would be a great thing for cinephiles.

His latest film, however, is a Nicolas Cage movie.

Co-starring Kelsey Grammer and produced by Jeff Rice of “Lone Survivor” fame, “Grand Isle” is a mysterious thriller set in the Louisiana bayou during an impending hurricane. The film’s director – Stephen S. Campanelli – has been a main camera operator for Clint Eastwood movies over the past 25 years
