I'm not sure why they wanted a "big name" for this role, since the kid who played young Blaze would have been just as good if not better than Cage. Just ill-conceived from the get-go.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060138794588869634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649767539101588453.post-34805246877483096282012-06-12T21:33:58.727-04:002012-06-12T21:33:58.727-04:00My comment is along the same lines but has more to...My comment is along the same lines but has more to do with the casting of a 27 year old actor to play Nic Cage as a teenager. And one who, in my opinion, bears little resemblance to Cage. Either get a true teenager who is believable as Cage- both because he is young enough to grow and change and because he really LOOKS like Cage- or have Cage play himself as a teen with some help of a good make-up artist. (he wasn't THAT much over 35 5 years ago was he? I'd put him at around 45 now so...)AliceMoraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148594998522941931noreply@blogger.com
