- Summary: Knowing / Nicolas Cage: HRN-3213 Knowing Nicolas Cage
- Description:04:17:54 - A01. HRN-3213 In: 04.17.54 Out: 04.18.23 Sound Bite: Nicolas Cage Well I like movies that are unpredictable you know I dont want to bore you. Theres nothing more boring then a movie that you know exactly whats going to happen and this movie has a lot of surprises and unpredictable twists and it, also its a science fiction movie with a deep spiritual theme. Those are the kinds of movie I want to make right now. 04:18:25 - A02 HRN-3213 In: 04.18.25 Out: 04.18.46 Sound Bite: Nicolas Cage Yeah I mean hopefully, first of all I want to entertain you, but I want possibly to stimulate some dinner conversation. I like movies that get people thinking, get people talking, and asking the big questions. 04:19:09 - A03. HRN-3213 In: 04.19.09 Out: 04.20.24 Sound Bite: Nicolas Cage It is a big movie I mean when you think about it, it wasnt uh you know Alex knows what hes doing, he is a visual genius and he can design a shot to look spectacular he also you know shot the movie in Australia which means he knew how to get the most for his money, he knew exactly who to go to and he knew who he could rely on. Uhm you know so but but above and beyond just the the spectacle of the movie you you have a true family drama going on with this single father whose a professor at MIT and has a very intelligent young son and that makes the movie very special to me. It separates it from other apocalyptic disaster based films because theres just a handful of people in the movie that you grow to care about and that relationship uh it it it works you know its a positive devoted relationship and I wanted that for uh for those of us whove been single fathers you know. 04:20:33 - A04. HRN-3213 In: 04.20.33 Out: 04.21.04 Sound Bite: Nicolas Cage Yeah I mean theres something in the uh in the ? where if youre a man and youre single youre not a good father or you cant be a good father. The whole success of three men and a baby was based on that, all these guys are acting like buffoons trying to be alone with the kid but the truth is I dont agree with that, I dont agree with that and I think there are good fathers that are single fathers and we just dont see movies about them you know its uh not popular to think that way. 04:21:19 - A05. HRN-3213 In: 04.21.19 Out: 04.21.45 Sound Bite: Nicolas Cage Yeah and any parent would relate to how scary that is you know. But let me just say that I do feel that its important for families to be together, its better if you can all stay together but that, that doesnt always happen as we know and it doesnt happen in this movie for the reasons youll discover when you go to the movie but that doesnt mean it cant be a family that still works.
