An "all Nic Cage" action film with Spike Jonze at the helm? Can you picture the wig possibilities? When asked what his version of Expendables 4 would look like, the Her director responded,

The Expendables 4 with all Nic Cages. I would die to do that movie. Imagine how good he would be. ‘Cause in those action movies you have the hero guy that needs to get back in the saddle again, you have the guy that is getting reluctantly pulled back in, the nerdier guy who’s good at technology and the bomb guy who’s socially awkward, so he’d play all the different guys in the action movie. And he’d play the bad guy, obviously.

Obviously. Now that this possibility has entered your mind, could you settle for anything less? I say we put the (terribly named) all-female ExpendaBelles project on hold and let Jonze take the wheel on this franchise. This light-hearted answer is fairly Jonze-ian in nature. Unlike other Oscar nominees who are busy campaigning for last-minute votes, Jonze is taking a, shall we say, more relaxed approach to awards season. Is it because he’s pretty much a lock to win best screenplay? Here he is with Her producer Megan Ellison at the prestigious Oscar nominee luncheon.

Not exactly silver lamé, is it? So, yes, Spike Jonze, who has worked on everything from the Oscar-nominated Her to the Oscar-nominated Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa would be just the man to bring us the ultimate Cage match. The “all Nic Cages” concept has clear predecessors in previous Jonze projects Being John Malkovich, which famously featured an entire restaurant of Malkoviches, and Adaptation, which starred Nic Cage in dual lead roles. As for Cage convincingly portraying a number of personalities? Well, he’s more than up for the task.

Make it happen, Hollywood. Make it happen now.
