(really, come on now ‘title’ people, a little imagination. Imagine if you thought up all movie titles! We would have “The Little Person with the Evil Ring”, “Gay Cowboys” and “The German Almost Trans-Gendered Lead Singer of a Band”
Anyway Cage's character is a father who goes searching for his college-aged son, "American born Muslim son" who's missing overseas. We're thinking that the use of that phrase above means that this is, in essence, the story of someone not a million miles from John Walker Lindh, the American college student who went to live in Afghanistan and fight alongside the Taliban.
The film marks the English-language directorial debut of Hany Abu-Assad, the Palestinian-born director of the really wonderful "Paradise Now".
It's set to shoot in April, as soon as Cage finishes The Wrestler for Darren Aronofsky.
I just wanted to put this out there. Both of these films I really want to see, “The Vanished” because it sounds like a very good premise, and “The Wrestler” because I love Aronofsky. But I am f*cking pissed I have to go and watch Nicolas Cage’s face in these.
He is one of those actors that I find it hard to watch. He does so much sh*t that it tarnishes any good project he does. I find him unwatchable…I couldn’t even post a picture – hence the pic of the two leads in “Paradise Now”. If you haven’t seen the film, I urge you to!

cage...he's a tough actor to truly embrace...most people like one or two of his films...but you can't really collectively like everything he does.
i don't know why...maybe it's a lack of talent, but at the same time the ability to land in decent films...who knows?
