Nicolas Cage said in an interview for The New Yorker that he is terrified of AI and is hoping recent body scans he had to do for two upcoming projects aren’t used as reference for AI technology to recreate him on screen after his death. Cage is currently attached to star in MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video’s live-action Spider-Man Noir series, which would bring him back into the tentpole space and give him his most prominent television role to date. He admitted that television was never appealing to him, but “what interested me was the time I could take expressing something.
” “I saw Bryan Cranston in ‘Breaking Bad’ stare at a suitcase for half the episode,” Cage said. “Just him on the floor looking at a suitcase thinking, ‘What’s in it? Do I do this? Don’t I do it?’ I thought, ‘We don’t have time to do that in movies.’ So that to me seemed like an opportunity to open it up a little.
I don’t know if the project that I’m exploring has room for that. I think this is a much more sort of popcorn-entertainment episodic.” Cage was referring to the Spider-Man Noir project, which he said is “eight episodes” and “more of a Pop-art mashup, like a Lichtenstein painting” with “some sparkle to it.
” “I don’t like violence. I don’t want to play people who are hurting people. One of the things that I like about this potential show is that it’s fantasy,” he added.
“It’s not really people beating people up. Monsters are involved.” Cag.
