Lately, Nicolas Cage has been pursuing a performance style at odds with what he calls the “meme-ification” of his screen persona, and with the support of up-and-coming directors who came into filmmaking as fans of the iconic actor. “With movies like Dream Scenario and Pig, I was trying to get closer to a more personal performance style where there’s less acting, if you will, and more being,” Cage tells David Canfield in a revealing new interview. “But you have to have material that can allow you to really express the life experiences and apply them behind the visage of another character, with another name.” Maybe that’s why Cage also says he thinks he’s done making movies—after starring in three or four more, at least.
