Nicolas Cage’s dream is to leave the cinema with a “peak moment”. Cage told the website Uproxx that he is ready to say “goodbye” to the big screen and will choose to work in television from now on.

“I like to stay fresh. I mean, I like to change. I want to do it all,” Cage said. “And I feel like I’ve done them, at this point – after 45 years of doing this, with over 100 films – I feel like I’ve pretty much said what I had to say in cinema. And I’d like to go to the zenith and say goodbye».

Cage added: “I think I have maybe three or four more films to do before I retire, and then I hope to switch formats and go into some other field to express my acting. I want to leave in one of my top moments like “Dream Scenario”. But I have other obligations to fulfill, so we’ll see what happens” and continued: “I’m very interested in immersion streaming in a TV series of episodes. I’ve seen things that can be done now and characters are given time to express themselves. I saw Bryan Cranston stare at a suitcase for an hour in an episode of “Breaking Bad.” We don’t have time to do that in a feature film, so maybe TV is the next best step for me. We’ll see».

“The only thing I haven’t really done is Broadway and I haven’t done a TV series,” Cage said. “I did a pilot that didn’t get picked up, but I think I want to try something else. […] This is a new world for me. I wasn’t watching TV. My son introduced me to it and I thought, okay, there’s something here».
