Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Ghost Rider‘s Nicolas Cage may soon getting off the bike and heading behind bars. The actor, last seen in National Treasure, is currently in negotiations to play an inmate serving a life sentence in Scared Straight.
The movie, based on the program that tries to ‘scare’ temporary inmates into leading a clean life, will focus on an incarcerated teen held hostage during a prison riot. Cage, unable to sit back and watch this unfold, will reluctantly come to the kid’s rescue.
Scared - which will be directed by John Carpenter (Halloween) - should begin filming this October.
