 There were I think 3 posters related to Nic films (in various stages of development) that appeared at Cannes, Stolen, Wild Side and Marble City, (we have different topics for the others) but some were more likely more official than others! flowerface

Cage And Rourke Head For Marble City
With Azumi director Ryuhei Kitamura

Cage And Rourke Head For Marble Citypoint.gif
 
point.gif

This morning's other Mickey Rourke story sees him teaming up with Nicolas Cage for the action revenge noir Marble City. Director Ryuhei Kitamura promises "vengeance on a road filled with rage, bullets and ultra-violence," in a mash-up of Drive and Kill Bill. Drive Angrier, anyone?

Marble City is one of those screenplays that's been knocking around Hollywood for years. Way back in 2006 it was being prepped as a vehicle for DMX, before he left and was replaced by Ving Rhames. The director at that time was going to be Jim Vickers, a stunt coordinator on movies like Mr & Mrs Smith and Hancock (he was also, alarmingly, "kidnap consultant" on Borat). Since the film failed to come together at that time, Vickers has still yet to make his directorial debut, although he recently shot second unit on The Legends Of Nethiah.

Kitamura, who's bagged the job this time around, made the Clive Barker adaptation The Midnight Meat Train (with Vinnie Jones), Toho's Godzilla: Final Wars, and, most recently, the horror-thriller No One Lives, with Luke Evans. But he's probably best known for 2003's teen-assassin-in-Feudal-Japan manga adaptation Azumi, which won him film festival prizes in Boston and Philadelphia, and scored Japanese Academy Awards for its star Aya Ueto.

"Ryuhei's vision of action filmmaking is truly unique," gushes Stealth Media's Jason Piette. "We look forward to a high octane, smart action picture."

Producer Jeremy Wall meanwhile, promises "high action and close combat," and calls Cage and Rourke "The highest calibre of actor in the business."

We'll look forward to seeing what sort of zen wizard philosophy Cage brings to the role of Rune (no, really), a just-paroled jailbird out for revenge on the betrayer who cost him ten years in clink. Unless, as a bit of a change-up, it's Rourke that's playing Rune and Cage will be essaying a rare turn as a villain.

The screenplay is by Thomas Sjolund, and shooting is scheduled to start in early August.

I am starting to get confused as to all these recent films Nic is supposed to be making!

And just the other day I remembered the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest rumour.

Anticipation is killing me!

If I recall right, Wild Side is set to shoot in August too For what it's worth, I have it on authority from Production Weekly that Marble City, Wild Side, Kick Ass 2 will be in production soon..

Here is some news about Marble City, which has fallen off the radar lately. Presumably this means that the movie will go ahead now that funding has been made?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nicolas-cage-movie-marble-city-386634

AFM 2012: Banker Michael Mendelsohn Sets $25 Million Financing for Stealth Media Group

The money is senior debt for production and gap financing on four movies, including "Marble City," starring Nicolas Cage, and "SAS: The Originals," being touted as a British "Expendables." Michael Mendelsohn’s Union Patriot Capital and Patriot Pictures has set up $25 million financing for four movies with the British company Stealth Media Group, it was announced Monday at the American Film Market. Mendelsohn, a veteran show business banker, will provide both senior debt and gap production financing on the movies, which include the $18 million action picture Marble City starring Nicolas Cage, which has been on sale at the market....

Thanks Lady T. As funds is just one of the basis for a movie, keep my figures crossed though. And plus I personally would like to know whether the director will do justice to such a noir actioner or not.

This is great news. Despite the reaction to the 'rumour' poster, which I actually liked, the plot for this film is very very interesting and caught my attention.

Apparently Michael Mendelsohn also financed / distributed Lord Of War.

Part british company...Bodes well for a simultaneous uk / us release ?

Perhaps it will be Nics' next project then. We will have a banner year of Nic news if he keeps working steadily after his year off!
