Nic Cage may be doing something interesting. It must be a leap-year. Not only is he starring in Kick-Ass but now THR says he’s on board a 3D revenge movie called Drive Angry, directed by Patrick Lussier.

Ok, admittedly Lussier’s career has been devoted, mostly, to directing B-grade horror movies like White Noise 2 or last year’s loathsome My Bloody Valentine 3D. Actually it’s that last film which is the most worrisome since, by all accounts the 3D used in it was the worst seen on screen since Robert Rodriguez gave the world seizures with Sharkboy and Lava Girl. So maybe he’s a hack, but the movie sounds interesting.

Drive Angry casts Cage as an out of control groundhog… wait no… wrong movie. Actually he’s playing an angry man on the trail of the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. It’s a chase movie in which his pursuit spins out of control leaving a trailer of corpses along the highway. It sounds kind of like Taken meets Death Proof, and in 3D no less.
