Now there’s something that just tickled my interest, the trailer for The Weather Man. It looked to me like it was travelling the road of mid-life crisis man tries to get back with his family, eerily reminiscent of The Family Man, also with Nicolas Cage. Then something happened, half way through the trailer things just shifted slightly and the whole bow and arrow thing just made me take a step back.
Looks exceedingly interesting, but is it a second crack at The Family Man ideal, and can Cage hold back that wildness to bring out a more sedate performance? Here’s hoping, I think he has flashes of genius in amongst some of the movies he’s been in, and it just takes someone to pull that out of him. With Michael Caine co-starring and Gore Verbinski directing, wouldn’t those be the very people needed?
