I remember reading quite a while ago now an article that had 5 things on it that Nicolas Cage 'needs to do' I could only remember 3 of them and I could never find the article ever again so here they are.
1. Better scripts.
Yeah, okay, this one isn't very original but it said he needs to pick scripts that are the films like he used to do back in the 90s with mixing it up with comedy, romance and action. To remind audience members why they liked him in the first place.
2. Supporting roles.
The article spoke of Nicolas becoming a very powerful supporting actor and that he doesn't need to be in the spotlight all the time. I don't remember the example they used exactly but it was something like Nicolas Cage being like Robert Duvall or someone like that. The character who helps the main star but stands out because of their name status and very powerful character performance.
3. Get a TV show
The article spoke about how if Nicolas had a TV show he would get a steady paycheque and would connect with viewers on a weekly basis, bringing in the viewers because of his name status and getting back in the limelight with a good show under his belt.
Im not going to put my opinion on this, I'll leave that up to you guys, I'm just sharing the news... Somewhat. I don't really think this was meant to be an attack article, just seems like some friendly advice... I'm not so sure to be honest. Anyway, what do you think?
I think, that`s subjective, and Nic chooses his roles how he wants to, anyway, and not what others think, he "should" do! Besides, his over thirty years of success in this business proofs, that he knows, how to choose the perfect roles for himself! Not to mention his many awesome movies, which are another proof of that! So, I guess, that was just someones personal opinion in that article!

The thing is though he got all these wonderful reviews for Joe and now he is back to getting crapped on for his movie Rage. It just breaks my heart that he doesn't want to choose drama's and comedies anymore hardly anyway. I have also noticed that he never promotes his low budgeted action films like Rage, Stolen or seeking justice like he supports Joe and the croods. It's like he knows that the critics are going to hate his little action films or something. I don't know but hopefully he gets back his audiences in theaters because this new movie Rage just isn't going to do it. I know that he really doesn't care what people think about him but he needs to start caring more or I have a bad feeling about things to come if he doesn't. Sorry it's just my opinion. He also needs to pull an oscar winning role somehow I know that he doesn't care but I sure as heck do because I don't want him to fade away like other actors.
