I guess it will be a little longer before Nicolas Cage actually tries to act again. Mickey Rourke has replaced Cage as the star in director Darren Aronofsky's upcoming indie drama The Wrestler. There is no word as to why Cage left the project. Rourke will play Randy ''The Ram'' Robinson, an over-the-hill fighter who returns to the ring for one last shot at glory. Aronofsky wrote the script with Robert Siegel.
I was looking forward to seeing Cage actually try and portray a realistic character again. He was good a few years ago in The Weather Man but you would have to go back to 2002 and Adaptation to see the last time that Cage took a chance and really dove into a character.
