'I can tell you right now that for me, playing a surrealist version of my contemporary self, battling it out with a surrealist version of my younger self, just sounds like psychological sensory overload,' says Nicolas Cage
Photo: NEON Judging by the promo materials for the new indie drama Pig, it would seem the movie fits neatly into what Grub Street recently called the “Nicolas Cage Loses His Fucking Mind for 90 Minutes” canon — a subgenre the Oscar-winning actor himself handily refers to as “Cage Rage.” Appearing as a Rasputin-esque forager living in self-imposed isolation in the Pacific Northwest, his character’s life is upended by the violent abduction of his beloved, truffle-sniffing pig.
“In terms of my wanting to try different kinds of genres, or even different performance styles, that’s always kept me interested,” Cage says via Zoom from Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo. “It’s kept me excited about going to work. That which is a challenge. ‘Oh, you can’t be in The Rock because you’re not an action-adventure actor.’ Well, wait a minute. If you say I can’t, then by my nature, I’m going to want to do it.
“This is exactly what I want to do. This is perfect timing for me. I understand Rob. I know what he’s feeling,’” Cage explains. “I know those feelings of loss. I know those feelings of isolation — or wanting to be in isolation. Of not wanting to be a part of Hollywood anymore. Enjoying my quiet little wilderness in the Mojave Desert and reading little independent projects that seem to have some truths that aren’t pandering to too many elements of fear that can happen today in the big studios.
