Nicolas Cage On ‘Dream Scenario,’ Resurrecting Superman And Working In Television: “I Never Would’ve Considered It Five Years Ago.”
Even by Nicolas Cage’s standards, Dream Scenario is a strange movie — but mostly in that there is nothing at all unusual about the character he plays. A mediocre biologist whose research is routine…
I’ve felt like that at times, with the way the internet has reduced the complete two-hour narrative of a character to one image [with the caption], “You don’t say?” or a freakout scene from Vampire’s Kiss or Ghost Rider. Yeah, that one threw me because the relationship in Massive Talent was definitely me because the character’s name was Nic Cage and this one, Dream Scenario, was me processing my own life experience through the channel that was Paul Matthews, even though we look and sound nothing alike. You can dig deep and go into the more abstract stuff, like Bringing out the Dead, or Pig or even Dream Scenario, or you can open it up and make a movie that pleases a lot of people and hopefully gives families a chance to escape a little bit from whatever may be going on at home or in the office.
