The ever-amusing Nicolas Cage will star in Knowing, a new thriller from Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) (oh, and I, Robot), as "a teacher who examines the contents of a time capsule unearthed at his son's elementary school. Startling predictions in the time capsule that have already come true lead him to believe the world is going to end at the close of the week and that he and his son are somehow involved in the destruction." That sounds just about stupid enough for Nicolas Cage to participate. Nicolas Cage trivia note, courtesy of IMDb: Cage titles in the works include "G-Force," "Amarillo Slim," "Time Share," "Electric God" and "Bangkok Dangerous."
Joan Allen joins Lasse Hallstrom in a remake of the Japanese film Hachiko, A Dog's Story.
Paul Rudd will star in I Love You, Man. Presumably a Paul Rudd biopic.
