robthehand 3 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hollywood actor NICOLAS CAGE is angry that his American nationality hindered his chance to become JAMES BOND because he thinks the prejudice is petty and stupid.The CON AIR star resents the unwritten rule which states the secret spy can only be played by British actors and is devastated he will probably never get another opportunity to try for the role.He says, "You can cast a Brit to play Bond but you can never cast an American to play him."I think that is totally unfair."Cage was a secret contender to play 007, but lost out to LAYER CAKE star DANIEL CRAIG. :roll: Read it here.

Incanus 5,519 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I am intrigued by the thought of Cage as Bond. I simply could not picture the man in that role. I am glad Americans do not stand a chance to be cast as Bond. The thoughtis too terrible even to contemplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpeteer 243 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Not only does Bond need to sound British, he needs to look British. Nic couldn't hide his Italian upbringing if he tried.And hearing the Bond theme in my head, I couldn't imagine Nic Cage in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 859 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well thank god no one else feels the way he does.That would be almost as bad as casting him as Superman, which thankfully didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson 1 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 It really is inconceiveable to me that he was even considered for Superman at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshopk 8 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I would like to see him as The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern or Aqua Man... But not Supes or Bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo 33 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 After seeing him in a suit in National Treasure, I just can't see him as Bond at all. He's too Nic Cage-y to be Bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
