Nicholas Cage, who ushered in the second spring of his career, continued to make films, and this year's "I play myself" "Genius can't Bear the Weight" has exploded, and now he is filming the comedy thriller "Raynfield" produced by Universal Pictures, in which he plays Dracula, which is a very weird Dracula from the set photos.
Cage has another very weird character to play next - a dragon who likes to drink vodka, and according to Deadline, Cage will star in the magical series "Highfire" created by Paramount+, a paramount streaming platform, which is based on the magic novel of the same name.
"High Fire" is the name of a fire dragon that ruled the world a long time ago, and High Fire was the king of fire dragons, ruling the fire dragon family. But time has come to modern times, and Gao Huo is now living in seclusion in a swamp in Louisiana, USA, hiding in the high fire of the crocodile-infested land, alias Vern, he usually likes to drink vodka, watch cable TV, love lightning dance, he is at ease in this peaceful life, until a troublesome teenager arrives, breaking his tranquility, this teenager is causing trouble in the local area, being chased and killed by a group of gangsters, he runs to the swamp to encounter Vaughn, a dragon and a teenager, together to get out of their respective predicament , an extraordinary friendship was established.
The dragon will be built through CGI, and Nicholas Cage will provide the voice, but it is unclear whether the dragon will be built entirely by computer effects or with some motion capture, just like in the Hobbit series, the dragon Smaug is played by Benedict Cumberbatch through motion capture and dubbing.
Motion capture can give some non-human characters a richer expression, which has a good effect when shaping these monster characters. In addition to Smaug, in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Ghidorah's three heads are also played through motion capture.
Davey Holmes, the screenwriter of "The Short Man" and "The Heart", will act as the operator of the series, while Cage himself will serve as the producer. The series is produced by Paramount+, Paramount's main streaming platform is in the stage of constantly creating new content to attract audiences, this year's heavyweight "Halo" episode has a mixed reputation, but the popularity is high enough, and the production level of the series has been affirmed. I don't know if with Uncle Cage in town, this "High Fire" can become a project to be focused on.
At present, there is no specific broadcast time for the series.
