Nicolas Cage has been cast in Kick-Ass, Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of the Mark Millar comic book.
The book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.
Cage will play a former cop who wants to bring down a druglord and has trained his daughter (Chloe Moretz) to be a lethal weapon.
The problem with Cage is he will pretty much star in any film. Its what makes him so frustrating, because for every Ghost Rider there is a Leaving Las Vegas and for every Wicker Man there is an Adaptation. He can be oh so very good in the right roll but in the wrong one, watch out.
