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...

ew. cage is gross and old. hes not even hot. why not hire someone hot, WHO CAN FUCKIN ACT!!!!! count me out untill I see a trailer. A GOOD trailer that has me SOLD.

hopefully this puts carpenter back on the map so he can make some kick ass horror movies again. horror hasn't been the same without him. and after seeing his Masters of Horror episodes I know he still has it.

if not for the fact that Nicholas Cage is related to Francis ford Coppola, the man would have no career. And I've heard the whole he changed his name so he could avoid being hired because his uncle is famous before. People have always known he was the nephew of Mr. Coppola. On a couple of rare occasions he has been good, but 98% of his movies suck. He brings down what would be good movies.

Hey mathu6xortem, Vampire's Kiss was great, I love that movie! :) Wild at Heart and Weatherman were also pretty damn good. I'd rather see Cage in a movie than some jackass like Will Smith or Shia LaBeouf.

One thing to say about this: OH GOD NOT THE BEES!!! THEY"RE IN MY EYES

I can't wait for this movie! It looks so awesome... Just kidding. Based on the tagline alone, I want to stab my eyes out. Now THAT would be a "riot." Harharhar.

blah

I believe that the expertise of the great John Carpenter could make this a very watchable movie. I just hope Nicolas Cage doesn't fuck it up. UNCAGED??? Give me a break.

Uh, I think going from Ice Cube to Nicoli Cage is definitely an upgrade for John C. Leaving Las Vegas, Vampires Kiss, Raising Arizona, etc.. With a little luck (and a good screen play) this could kick off another "roll" for Carpenter.

"ew. cage is gross and old. hes not even hot. why not hire someone hot, WHO CAN FUCKIN ACT!!!!! count me out untill I see a trailer. A GOOD trailer that has me SOLD. " This is why women typically don't get genre films.

Cage isn't nearly as bad as people say he is. He was absolutely brilliant in Leaving Las Vegas, and won an Oscar deservedly so for it.

butterfinger

Count me out too unless the trailer is great. Carpenter is washed up (it is sad but true) and Cage is just dull and boring. And as for him being a great actor, explain "The Wicker Man"!

I would like a new John Carpenter movie to be good, but after Ghosts of Mars I've lost confidence in him.
