Nicolas Cage, holy men, and Voodoo


Cage is to star in The Sadhu, the story of a soldier who travels to India during colonial times and becomes a spiritual warrior. The plot mixes action with mythology, and is meant as a starring vehicle for the US actor.


The movie is based on the Virgin comic with the same name. Sadhu was created by Gotham Chopra and will be adapted for the screen by his father, Deepak Chopra. Sounds positively trainwrecky to me, but hey, maybe a chakra alignment can improve Cage's acting abilities.

But wait, there's more...


Cage is developing a comic book for Virgin Comics entitled Enigma, with an eye to developing it into a film. Billed as a voodoo-laced thriller, Enigma deals with a murder investigation set in New Orleans.

Voodoo, eh? Cage has mentioned his interest in Voodoo before, and said that "it's important to be respectful of all religions". I hope he respects it enough to do his research.
