 Dread chats with star Nicolas Cage, who amusingly drops what ultimately attracted him to Drive Angry 3D.

“It’s a pretty out there reason,” said the film star, “but it was because when I did Season of the Witch I kept trying to get the producers to let me have one of my eyes shot out with an arrow, and they never quite got there. For some reason I had this passionate connection with having one of my eyes taken out as a character in a movie, and within the first five minutes of my conversation with Patrick (regarding Drive Angry) he said, ‘You are going to get one of your eyes shot out,’ and I immediately said, ‘OK, I’m making a movie, I’m in.”

On the driving stunts, which are at the core of Drive Angry 3D, “I did most of them,” communicated Cage. “I enjoy driving, and I’m pretty comfortable in a car. The only time I’m not comfortable with pushing it is when I have someone else whose life is in stake. If they aren’t in the car, then I just go for it. I go into kind of a trance state and just hit it.”

With the starring-flick Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance poised to release on February 17, 2012, Cage said of reprising the titular role, “I just got back from finishing it, and I had an amazing time working with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (of Crank fame). They are so brave and so willing to go for it and so out there. Mark is a stuntman/director, really. He does things with the camera, where he’s hanging off of bungee cords, where he’s rollerblading with the camera, and he’s put a patent on it. It was very encouraging that I got to play (the character) of Ghost Rider as well as Johnny Blaze, because I feel that in doing both that it informed each roll. I don’t want to say too much about it just yet, because I want to see how it all cuts together, but I’m pretty excited about it, as you might be able to tell.”

This writer couldn’t resist to question gauge Cage on his interest in participating in a potential sequel to the 1988 cult fave Vampire’s Kiss (were there one), and the actor responded enthusiastically.

“Wow, I hope so,” enthused Cage. “I would love that. That would be a great experience if I could get Robert Bierman to do another Vampire’s Kiss. But I don’t know how I would do it since the character died, but maybe there is a way?”

Dread posits that perhaps Cage’s character of ‘Peter Loew’ in that film actually became a vampire, as opposed to simply being an unhinged New York publisher.

“There you go!” replied Cage. “You’d really go into the abstract with that if he just wasn’t losing his mind. I like that idea! That’s one of my favorite movies I’ve ever made!”
