Nicolas Cage must sure love him some tights…
The actor looks set to return to the superhero genre for director Michael Gondry’s “The Green Hornetâ€. Cage, up for the role of the gangster villain in the action/comedy, had previously been involved in comic-book flicks “Superman Lives†(which died about a week into production – but still long enough for Cage to get comfortable in the ‘black’ ‘capeless’ Superman outfit) and “Ghost Riderâ€. He’s also said to be attached to star in some kind of a “Ghost Rider†follow-up.
Meanwhile, Variety has confirmed rumours that Cameron Diaz is up for the film’s love interest. She’d play a reporter who falls for Seth Rogen’s crime-fighter.
The flick, which recently lost Stephen Chow (He was to play Kato; the role is currently being recast), is set to lens in the Fall.
