|
|
Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and action helmer Lee Tamahori are teaming up for
their Next project. Cage will star in and produce and Tamahori will direct
Next, an action-thriller based on the Philip K. Dick story "The
Golden Man." Cage will produce with partner Norm Golightly through the
pair's Saturn Films, with shooting likely to get underway next summer.
Gary Goldman, who'll serve as an executive producer on the project, will adapt
the script from "Golden." Cage will star as a man with the ability
to see the future and change events before they happen. He comes to regret his
power, however, when he's forced to choose between saving himself or saving
the world.
Goldman will executive produce with Jason Koornick, who holds the rights to
the Dick story. At Revolution, Derek Dauchy will be overseeing the project.
The CAA-repped Cage will soon be seen in Jon Turteltaub's action-adventure
National Treasure. Tamahori is now finishing up his direction of the
Ice Cube starrer XXX: State of the Union. As for Goldman, he's no stranger
to Dick's work having adapted a Dick story into the screenplay for Total
Recall. Other films based on Dick works include Blade Runner, Minority
Report and the upcoming A Scanner Darkly.
