Considering he's all on his lonesome in the middle of the desert with the plane, it just boggles the mind. Cage has previous experiences with plane wreckages. He knows how to handle them.

tliil posted:If I recall correctly (I read these books when I was a teen and starved for anything vaguely post-apocalyptic and the school library didn't have The Stand), later in the books they make some horrible "evil minion" character into the new Pope. If that somehow made it into the movies it would be hilarious. Equal parts controversy and fueling the wacky ideas of conspiracy nuts. I will never forget the first time I heard about Left Behind. I was in middle school, right around the time where the series was breaking into the mainstream, and I had just finished reading Jurassic Park for the first time. At sunday school I was bragging to another kid about the bodycount of JP and he, with a giant  face, goes "Yeah? Well, billions of people die in the Left Behind books. You should totally read them!"Left Behind existed right at the point where you're too young to have the critical capacity to realize how awful they were but old enough to want lots of carnage and "grown-up" themes. If you were in a really religious household the novelty of church-approved apocalypse was all you needed, really.

Nicolas Cage looks like he is walking on water? Is he the new messiah in this movie? Perhaps this is where all the acting lessons he got from watching his pet octopus will come into play. Just like Ghost Rider 2 and the cobras.

Nicholas Cage's daughter kidnapped the president's face's plane because a snuff film from hell is babysitting a motorcycle possessed by satan's band of witches who want to resolve the mystery of who hijacked the missing senator's bio weapon experiment based out of Alcatraz and so he's selling weapons to a writer in debt to the mob that stole the Declaration of Independence to bankroll a gambling addiction and in a twist of fate he falls in love with a woman who embraces his psychic powers.

In the strange near future, Peter Loew (Nicholas Cage) wakes on an airliner crashed outside of Las Vegas. Left Behind is the remarkable exploration of one man's existential pain of solitary existence, captured in a single slow dolly zoom of Cage wailing and stumbling across a salt pan. Rated R for an excruciating hairpiece.

I don't know how many people are familiar with the series, but progressive evangelical blogger Fred Clark has been basically going through the Left Behind books page by page and ripping the authors new assholes for close to a decade. I'll let Cracked's David Wong summarize: quote:Fred Clark, for those of you who don't know, is the blogger who for the last several years has been reviewing the Left Behind books page by page. Also: quote:http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2004/03/25/lb-the-evil-of-banality/ Seriously, Fred Clark is smart and funny and he is absolutely loving brutal when it comes to criticizing the LB series. Highly suggest giving it a read if you have the time: Left Behind Index I: Posts 1-50 Left Behind Index II: Posts 51-100 Left Behind Index III: Posts 101-150 Left Behind Index IV: Posts 151-200 Left Behind Index V: Posts 201-250 Left Behind Index VI: Posts 251-300

Vagabundo posted:I'm guessing it will be rather actiony. Look at Vic Armstrong's credits on IMDb. Guy's been the action and/or stunt coordinator on pretty much everything. He even got this in his credits: He was the stunt coordinator on all of the Indiana Jones films except Crystal Skull (because he was working on Mummy 3. That's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation) and even fights Indy a few times. As soon as I saw his name, I went "Is this the same dude I think it is?" Edit: That poster is probably a mockup, because they haven't even started production yet. It looks like a terrible fan poster.

You see, the founding fathers knew that planes would be invented (well, the Egyptians did and they passed it on) and in order to find the true secret they had to crash a 747 in that exact spot so the tail would cast a shadow of the cross and show the way to Atlantis.

Nick_326 posted:I don't know how many people are familiar with the series, but progressive evangelical blogger Fred Clark has been basically going through the Left Behind books page by page and ripping the authors new assholes for close to a decade. That stuff doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of crazy that is Left Behind, like it doesn't mention how despite their claim to fight the Antichrist both Buck and Rayford Steele (which is the Nicolas Cage character) WORK for him. Not just in low level jobs or anything like that, Buck is the EiC of the biggest news magazine in the world (the position given to him by the Antichrist) while Rayford personally pilots the Antichrist's Air Force One. The funniest thing about the series is that the main characters have to be shown as sinners because they were Left Behind but they're also the heroes of the story so they can't have done anything too bad. So you end up with stuff like Rayford's sin being that he had a non-physical quasi affair with a stewardess that never really went very far. Also said stewardess ends up as the mother of the Antichrist's child. The thing is, unlike the Kirk Cameron ones it looks like they're actually attempting to make this one with a wider appeal so they might (unfortunately) tone down the crazy.

Not sure why he decided to direct this though.
