Assault on Precinct 13 was great....too bad Nicolas Cage is a fucken terrible actor.

This is God: I agree with you on both points. But to look at it optimistically, if JC gives this a real AOP13 vibe it could be good all the same.

"Uncaged?" "UNCAGED?" are you fucking serious?

That tagline is so lame.

Nicolas Cage is a great actor...I am excited for this.

Your response is such bullshit. Cage is one of the worst actors around.

Maybe they can kill him off in the first five minutes....

Remember Memoirs of an Invisible Man? There's a point there somewhere... Too bad Masters of Horor disappeared. Some of his best work to date.

I think Cage takes too much flak....He isn't the greatest actor around but Lord of War, the Weatherman and 8MM were great in my opinion (I'd probably be alone on 8MM...). Also Ghost Rider was a fun if incredibly forgettable film.

I can't believe some of you douche bags saying that Cage is a terrible actor. Have you ever seen Leaving Las Vegas, or Adaptation, or Face/Off? He may have a habit of picking horrible projects, but come on, the guy can certainly act. This project sounds awesome. It's a Carpenter film where the main character is an anti-hero who's facing a large anonymous force under a definitive time constraint. It sounds like a cross between Escape From New York and Assault on Precinct 13. It's set in a prison, so you know there won't be a lot of CGI. I have a feeling you guys will be eating crow when this comes out.

This is how far Cage has fell in his career Struggling actor working with struggling director

Haha, UnCaged!! I'm stoked for this.

LAUGH[RIOT]

I Like EggMans point

(***SPOILER***) Nicolas Cage turns out to be a villian when in the end he molests one of the "scared straight" attendees

Count me in. Such a shitty, generic title for a film, though.

i love 8mm...i love cage...come on Vampire Kiss or whatever it was called... what a movie

I wish this movie would be un-(Nicholas)caged. Seriously, him being in it (just like the movie KNOWING) makes me want to see it maybe half as much as I would have.

http://cinemafantastique.be/John-Carpenter-s-Riot.html On the first promo art, there was Forest Whitaker ! Where is he now ?

this fiilm would rule if nicolas cage acted just like his character in raising arizona

Nicholas Cage has nothing to do with whether I want to see this movie or not. It's not rocket science... it's a John Carpenter action flick. Cage has had a number of decent roles in his career and a number of horrible roles, but I'm sure people would whine whether it was him, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Tom Cruise, or any number of highly paid celebrities. It sounds like a fun popcorn concept and will brainlessly entertain me for a good hour and a half or so.

there wont be a 'RIOT' at the box office for this one that's for sure.

Cage is awful, geez....

This'll be Carpenter's first movie in years, and it'll only be one of the 20 or so that Nic Cage makes this year,so if you just play the numbers it should be pretty good.

Give it a chance...
