We love a pub quiz although our Editor hates them as we’re usually looking right at him when we ask, ‘Whose round is it?…….but we digress.
With over 100 acting credits to his name and counting, it’s little wonder that the legend that is NICOLAS CAGE, during his long, illustrious and Oscar-winning career, has appeared in every single genre. Well, all except one – surprisingly, no western has appeared on his CV – UNTIL NOW! On 13th January, Altitude releases THE OLD WAY starring Cage as an outlaw-turned-family man, forced back into his sharpshooting ways in the name of vengeance. It was about time Cage slung on a stetson and a sidearm, and he’s so good in THE OLD WAY one wonders why he didn’t saddle up sooner.
