Nicolas Cage wants to say ‘adios’ to movies and try out TV | CNN

Nicolas Cage, the legendary actor with over 100 film credits, is ready to embark on a new venture. In an interview with Uproxx, Cage revealed his desire to move away from the big screen and explore the world of television.

Having made his mark in cinema, Cage feels that he has said all he needed to say through his films. “I would say, ‘Adios.’ I did what I had to do with cinema and I want to move on now,” he expressed. While he still has four upcoming film projects, Cage is excited about the possibilities that lie beyond.

Cage is captivated by the concept of immersion streaming and episodic television, and the potential it holds for character development and storytelling. “I am very interested in immersion streaming with episodic television. I have seen things that can be done now with characters and the time they’re given to express themselves,” he shared.

Despite having explored a wide range of genres and pushing the boundaries of film performance, Cage believes that there might be more to learn in the realm of television. Describing himself as a perpetual student, he is eager to continue his growth as an artist.

However, it’s not just his career that Cage wants to focus on. Family is of utmost importance to him, especially now that he has a new baby daughter with his wife Riko Shibata. Cage longs for quality time with his loved ones and hopes to find a television project that allows him to be in one place and fully present. “What’s important is my children,” he emphasized.

While his current film “Dream Scenario” is currently in theaters, Cage is already setting his sights on his future in television. With his unmatched talent and unique on-screen presence, it’s safe to say that wherever he goes, he will continue to captivate audiences.
