I know Christian movies are trying to use bigger, more well-known actors to broaden their appeal and snag mainstream audiences.
More big-name stars are available, too. Hollywood is shrinking - fewer movies and fewer acting jobs to be had - and the growth of Christian-based movies are an oasis in an otherwise bleak landscape. Kevin Sorbo and John Ratzenberger have recently appeared and gave good performances.
Cage is different, though. I can't look at him and not see flaming skulls, car crashes, chains and leather. I dunno if the Christian community will accept him in one of their films. Left Behind could be this year's Noah - not Christian at all.
He’ll be great, if they do the movie right.
I wondered about that. I’m very surprised Cage chose to do the role. But who knows. maybe God will use this to draw Cage to Him.
I’m all for it.
It might make big name actors curious...
Always a good thing for people to be curious about God.
