“I feel like I’ve gone my own wild and left the small town of Hollywood,” Nicholas Cage told Variety, similar to his new indie film Pig, in which he plays a well-known chef – Rob. Who left all the celebrities behind. “I’m not quite sure why Rob left stardom. It’s never explained, which is what I love about the movie. But for me, I don’t know if I want to go back. I don’t know if I want to make another Disney movie. That would be terrifying.” It’s a completely different atmosphere now. There is a lot of fear.”
Cage says that even during his heyday — with films like Ghost Rider, The Rock and Con Air — he was skeptical of the business interests that influenced the films. “When I made those Jerry Bruckheimer movies, it caused a lot of stress. There were also nice moments, but at the same time it went like this: ‘We wrote that sentence. That has to be said. They point the camera at you and give you commands, ‘Now you have to.’ To say that phrase about exercise wheels.” Then I replied, “I will, but I’d like to try it that way.” Independent films give you more freedom to experiment. There’s less pressure, but more air in the room.”
