File this one under ‘cool things that will probably never happen but really should.’ Twitch Film reports on a piece of conceptual poster art at Cannes that envisions a movie directed by Ryuhei Kitamura of Versus and Azumi fame, and starring Nicolas Cage. The poster is ridiculous, with Cage’s head floating atop an ultra-chiseled torso, but at least the plot sounds promising if anyone actually decides to fund this movie and make it happen.
The film, titled Marble City, would theoretically co-star Mickey Rourke, Melissa George, Tom Waits, and Bill Pullman. The story concerns Nicolas Cage as an eye-patch wearing (just don’t look for one on the poster) anti-hero, fresh out of prison and looking for revenge against those who wronged him. Somebody give Kitamura money to make this happen, please?
