Nicolas Cage al David Letterman Show

through the thank you Paul yeah I'm great never happy to be bad everybody good the family's everybody's great up where did you make this movie the ghostwriter film well we shot it in Romania Romania in Eastern European Iraq roughly where it is exactly right Eastern Europe and also in Turkey hmm and it looks beautiful it's it's it's beautiful it's also a little spooky spooky in what sense well uh there's allegedly a haunted forest they're known as the hoia-baciu forest which is we you bought you Quran today and it's considered the Bermuda Triangle of forests simply because people tend to go in and not come out so naturally I wanted to go there know when something is haunted and I think for a while you lived in a haunted house in Norland yes that was a few years ago yeah and so you you like this well I I find mysterious places fascinating I'm 95% skeptical but still I was curious so I went to the 4th and there was this man walking through it and I rolled down the window of the car and I said excuse me dude do you live here with the translator and he said yes and I said is this forest haunted and he took about a minute and stared at me and went yes and I said by what then he took about two minutes and he said have you seen the people who float with no legs and I said no but I hoped you real soon mm-hmm and and did you ever see them no no I did not other than your encounter with the the man and the force did you get a sense that there was another presence there I did not the trees were very beautiful was a beautiful place but it was interesting yeah so as far as you're concerned your evidence would suggest it's not haunted I would see nothing to speak towards that effect but now when you lived in the house in New Orleans you in fact thought it might be haunted because well I look at that time I thought I was gonna write the great American horror novel I was inspired by Poe and Stephen King and HP Lovecraft so I had the house because I thought maybe I'd feel something as I was writing yeah but it didn't well it's no longer with me so they in happy so but when something is haunted and I know very little about this it's the if it's the undead is that that's what that's what they say but how do I know I really write no I don't know what happens if there is a haunting or there isn't a haunting I'm just curious about it and the undead because excuse me it was haunted and there was proof of that that would be an incredibly positive thing because that would mean that contact yeah well life continues yes as I as I understand it there has not been scientifically a reinforced proven information to evidence data to suggest that it does exist I would agree with that yeah yeah but it makes life interesting thinking about it yeah it really excuse me I'm speaking of the undead have you ever been to Newark stop it is that mine that is yours sir help yourself have you been have you been good you look good thank you very much now maybe you know all about this this is one of those things that's sweeping the Internet you know what I'm tired about it yeah look at this this is a guy finds this picture this is a civil war roughly 1860s photo was taken in Bristol Tennessee and a guy says that it likely is you right right well let me say that there is a resemblance but how can I be polite about this it's a somewhat slowed down version of me huh let's see that again because there are some similarities but it's slowed down yeah I think the it's and the guy the guy's theory is that you look exactly the same now and therefore that makes you a vampire right that's the theory yeah except there's a photograph of me and you can't take pictures you from moonstruck 1987 and they say it looks just like you well now look I don't drink blood and last time I look in the mirror I have a reflection so I'm not going with this vampire I'm just not gonna do it what was it like working with Cher back then though she's a great lawyer you stay in touch with her no no that's that's why she was nice he was very clever yeah all things lead back to share yeah there's there's an odd thing about Hollywood and I'll be the first to admit it you work so closely with people so closely that it's almost embarrassing and then when the movies over you don't stay in touch that's right it's odd and it's that way because it's job to job to job you just keep moving crew goes on to a job you go on to a job right split up but while you're together it is like a family that's that's exactly right I think that's where the embarrassment comes from speaking of embarrassing family members you you spent some time maybe you still do with the Charlie Sheen yeah Jorah are you guys buddies I think so absolutely we what you know he went through a kind of an exciting period what um and he said he says that he some of what he was demonstrating he got from you for example referring to referring to his girlfriend's as goddesses he says goddesses is a term that he actually heard you use well there there is some truth in that yes because we were flying from LA to San Francisco and I did refer to a flight attendant as a goddess but I had no idea that 23 years Charlie would make an international reference point for the women in his life yeah but I had much worse things to be concerned about on that plane than that look like well I I did not know that Charlie had an eight ball of cocaine wrapped around his ankle nor did he know that halfway through the flight now remember this was over 20 years ago it was a very innocent time that I was gonna grab the PA and announce to the passengers that I was the pilot and then I was not feeling well that I was losing control of you can't you can't good no and then when we landed up the pilot a pilot came out and I'm not feeling well and understandably he was very angry uh-huh and I quote he said quote not cool not cool they pointed his finger in my face furiously at which point the door to the aircraft pushed open like a nuclear gateway to a bank vault to reveal six fully armed police officer buddy and the first thing I did was say you know first of all he had nothing to do with it I pointed to Charlie oh then I just very gingerly very politely very delicately kindly talk my way out of going to airport jail yeah because with not so much what you did then but your buddy you're talking about possible federal time well I didn't know he was he was he was doing that yeah but I just knew that it was it was not a good session but again it's in my past and you're overworking your any kids because yeah yeah you're just kids and a lot of fun at the time and he had a lot of laughs but I just want to get this straight again you get a hold of the aircraft PA system right and you announce good afternoon good evening ladies and gentlemen as your business staff in the this is your pilot I'm not feeling I'm not feeling well I'm losing control of the air this is your pilot I'm not feeling well well I'm keepo my god yeah anything quite like this is your pilot I'm not feeling well I just bought it what everyone on the plane to know this to two senses you never want you to hear you don't hear anything for the pilot anyway no just hold really do hear we're in San Francisco that's about all you want to hear let's show them a clip of the movie here now this is a sequel as I see well it's a completely original presentation of ghosts where I'm very happy about this clip because it's me playing Ghost Rider taking out a gang of thugs with a hellfire chain but what I like about is it really shows how pop art how much like reading a comic book spirit of Vengeance really is plus you get the added bonus treat of seeing my praying mantis-like head moves as the ghosts run well I you know you have no highlighted things that I loved it is a visually reminiscent of a comic book or whatever the pulp until it totally ground and off a graphic novel that's right and I I didn't realize that the chain was the Hellfire chain very correct but I and I love the it's sort of like you need a chiropractic adjustment when you're on fire you're headed like oh god if I could just crack my neck meanwhile your skull is blazing not since the Jerry Lewis telethon has there been anything quite like it yes um okay you you remember that you love to watch Jerry Lewis telethon Oh Oh Pauly yes I was it Green was no do you ever see I don't watch it anymore about Horror Story after like our 1508 at night will you get the real axe from Vegas coming on the total no Jack the guys who are working circus circus high above the casino right they they exactly circus or eyes on fire that you're go swinging by and revolving that's another story yeah I'm Dave I'm your host I'm not feeling well hey gentlemen this year I love making I'm not feeling well I'm losing control of the show well that happened years ago let's take a look at the clip here spirit of vengeance
