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 watched him in ‘The Knowing’ - sure a little bit ‘otherworldy’ with the Albino-Angel-Guys towards the end, but they actually didn’t put his Christian Pastor-father, mother and sister in a bad light - but that he was missing something. I prayed that he would be more open about the end-times as described in Revelation and the rest of the Bible. God’s Word does not return void - and I hope more seeds are planted in him with this role.
Cage doesn’t “choose” to do roles anymore. He owes so much money to the IRS, he will literally do any movie that will pay his asking price. Just look at the recent stuff on his imdb page, and I think you will see what I mean.
