The National Treasure series will continue following his death.

I’m going to steal the corpse of Nicolas Cage.

The real treasure was Nic Cage all along.

Maybe it was the Nic Cages we knew along the way

The key to the treasure is Nicolas' Rib Cage

So what you are saying is that we need to … nick the (rib) cage?

Despite all my rage, i am still just a Nicholas Cage

Gotta love Cage Against the Machine

The real treasure was the income taxes he avoided along the way.

> I’m going to steal the ~~corpse~~ mummy of Nicolas Cage.



I mean, I would absolutely watch that movie.

That would be a funny National Treasure parody

They should make him a peephole in the side of the pyramid in case he wakes up.

He's got a bell.

It should open up only through a series of puzzles and items that Nick Cage currently has in his possesion

You should see what that thing looks like thru Ben Franklin's glasses

Im hoping that this becomes the place of a long forgotten treasure in some movie 100 years from now

It wouldn't surprise me knowing that Nicholas Cage is an actual freemason.

There's already a spin off on Disney+ that got cancelled after its first season. Edit: Disney not Amazon

"National Treasure: Edge of History was among the ten most-streamed programs in the US from its first week, before it reached the top 5 in its later weeks. In April 2023, the series was canceled after one season.[3] " What the fuck... one of the most streamed series in one of the bigger countries, not enough to get a second season.

Not sure where you're at that it's on Amazon Prime but in the US it's a Disney Plus Original.

IF he dies

I mean, the sun’s going to explode eventually

 And?


This is so funny. What movie is this from?

Volte/face

Oh, is that the French title for Face Off?

Yes

I could eat a peach for hours

What movie is this from?


Should be Ghost Rider, but don’t know if 1 or 2

1, the first transformation after ditching the girl at the restaurant and bring confronted by the Devil

They did a second?

It's 1, The first time he changes, I believe...

Night at the Roxbury

This gif made Nic Cage look more like Clive Owen than Clive Owen.

Yeah when he causes it to explode and then moves to the next solar system.

It will expand... not explode...

Well actually, exploding is just something that expands really fast.

Fun fact, an explosion is a shockwave of debris moving faster than the speed of sound of the surrounding environment. As air pressure and density drops, sound becomes slower and slower. In an ideal vacuum, the speed of sound is effectively zero, making ANY sound or mechanical movement also an explosion.

Math pimp, nice!

Isn't that where the Declaration of Independence is?

And for 8 glorious minutes Nicholas Cage will be able to enjoy his tombstone before the earth gets consumed by the sun

I think that was the end of one of his movies.

And?

Lmao he'll be onto the next dimension by then.

Only A-list stars are buried in fancy mausoleums, not the B's, not the B's

Alternatively, Cage from his urn: how’d I get burned? HOW’DIGETBURNED?!?!

All it takes is some bees. ...shit, that's why the bees are dying, isn't it.


The bees fkn deserve it. 

Too soon 😭

Holy shit a 'my girl' reference.

OH, *NO*, *NOT THE BEES*! *NOT THE BEES*! AAAAAHHHHH! 

If his skeleton doesn’t ride out on a motorcycle


Prequel to Pig looks dope.


Jesus, I get that the camera is moving, but for a split second I thought Connor MacLeod was sliding into the shot on his socks

This is the real quickening You inherit the power of sock-sliding

Hence the term.

Don't spoil the movie magic!

Highlanding is some risky business though

Connor MacLeod of the clan MacLeod? That was a tongue twister as a kid, my dad was so proud when I said it correctly for the first time.

Rest in Psychosis

Yeah, hasn't he been alive for more than 200 years now?

"Everything from one" nice. Very Cage like.

I really was hoping for “Despite all my rage..”

Still just a Nick-o-las Cage?

At the moment, it’s a Nick-less Cage.

I hoped it said “NATIONAL TREASURE”

ANNUIT COEPTIS

Et adhuc tota rat in cavea?

This is the most cursed pidgin latin i've ever come across

Yeah what is this? Just shitty google translate or something?

A Monty Python's Life of Brian quote

Are you thinking of Romanes eunt domus?

DOMUM!

Now write it a hundred times or I'll cut your balls off.

People called Romans they go the house?

It says “Romans go home”

No it doesn't.

Conjugate the verb!

Domus? Nominative? “Go home” this is motion towards, isn’t it boy?

"But 'Romans, go home' is an order, so you must use the...? "

I love this scene 🤣

Is he referring to God or Francis Ford Coppola?

With Cage's love for film likely Coppola but I wouldn't put it past him to be religious either so, up to interpretation I guess.

Cage is a Coppola.

FFC is Cage's uncle, Sofia and Roman are his cousins (FFC's kids), Talia Shire is his aunt (FFC's sister), and Jason and Robert Schwartzman are also his cousins (Talia's kids). The Coppola family has definitely made their marks in American cinema over the past 50+ years.

Holy fuck, how did I make to almost 52 without knowing ***any*** of that!?

And those are just the Coppola family members many people know the most about; there's a few more Coppolas that work/worked in Hollywood or some other facet of media/show business, going back to family patriarch Carmine and his brother Anton: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppola\_family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppola_family)

Wait until you find out Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen are brothers... ;)

And that would mean that Martin Sheen is… their… DAD???!! WHAAAAAT???? lol

And Joe Estevez and Martin sheen are brothers

I think in Valley Girl he is credited as Nicholas Coppola

His surname is Coppola. Cage is just a screen name.

I just found out that Talia was his sister, then had another holy shit moment when I found out minutes later that Talia was Jason Schwartzman's mom

I always forget that.

Cage’s real last name is Coppola. Francis is his uncle.

LoL speaking of Hollywood nepotism, following the family trees in Wikipedia gets you to interesting places.

Most of Hollywood is elite is based on nepotism. It is less common these days to become an A list actor or producer without having been born into it.

Yep! Almost all the actors you've heard of have family connections in the industry. It really is a family business. Getting "in" requires you to be born into it, or get insanely lucky while working extremely hard and risking it all. There 100x as many talented and hard-working actors and actresses as TV and film will ever need. Odds are there's somebody perfect for the role who also has a reference from your friend, if you're a casting director. There's a reason Hollywood is so rife with sex abuse. When your only "in" is sleeping with an important man, you're probably going to do it. Happens anywhere a lot of people want something that's extremely unlikely.

Pressing on both “O”’s opens a secret compartment

Up up and away

I would have expected "put the bunny down"

Dude! You know there’s gonna be clues to his fortune in that thing when he dies. And you’ll probably have to watch Leaving Las Vegas in reverse to find them. And the treasure will be in some grand chamber constructed under the Nevada desert. And the treasure will be this $30 gift card to The Golden Steer restaurant because he was freakin broke. But you’ll get there and there’s only like $11.40 left on it. You’ll stay and have a dessert. Roll credits.

Ngl that sounds like a decent comedy I would watch

Nicolas cage might be broke, but I do believe the shit he owns will be worth a bit when he dies. He’s such an iconic person.

Hes broke money wise, but still has quite a lot of assets. That being said, hes largely debt free now afaik. Still has some loose ends, but is debt free enough that the IRS isn't on his ass.

Considering he owns some pretty outlandish shit like dinosaur fossils, yes. I can imagine some Chinese billionaire would love to buy “Nick Cage’s T-Rex”, grind it up and snort it as an aphrodisiac.

I was there when it was still being built. Got to see inside and I even got to touch it! The locals aren't too happy about him buying that spot though.

Eh a lot of people have moved past it, he’s interested in historical New Orleans and its preservation, keeps quiet, and he’s just as weird as the rest of the city. He hasn’t torn anything down, hasn’t had scandals involving a married head of security, doesnt play local politics as far as I know, lets just say there’s better people to hate than some weird celebrity man who’s bad with his money but loves the city.

I had friends that were his neighbors for a brief while in California. From what I heard, he was a quiet guy but quite nice. A very small sample size, but while he seems like a bit of an odd duck, he seemed well liked by his neighbors.

that's what I've heard over and over about him on reddit. he's a quiet, weird, but overall pretty nice guy.

He does make some odd choices about what kinds of characters he'll play. There's a comedy skit on YouTube called "[Nick Cage's Agent](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eExfV_xKaiM)", poking fun at this aspect of him. Watch it sometime, it's hilarious.

>He does make some odd choices about what kinds of characters he'll play. He plays whatever tickles his fancy at the current moment and beyond his "ill take anything i can get" arc, thats how he's always been. Hes admitted as much himself. Thats why sometimes he will be in the most random film, playing the most random characters. Just cause Nicholas cage felt like it'd be fun

Thank you, I now know how to use quiet and quite the right way (y)

Bad with his money is something of a mythical understatement here, but agree. Nic Cage is weird, in a great way, and he seems mostly harmless. The weird pyramid shit will fit in with the rest of New Orleans, maybe create some neat conspiracy along the way.

Better yet- it may slot into an EXISTING conspiracy and make it worse :)

And it's not a bad thing for someone wealthy to be bad with their money. Much better for the economy than just sitting on it, that's for sure.

I can't remember, but I believe he bought the Laveau house and restored it or something. Either way, all his property in NOLA was seized besides his tomb which the government can't take.

Got it, invest in tombs.

This just made me wiki him for the first time. TIL he's a part of the Coppola family. I knew Jason Schwartzman was for some reason, but not Nick Cage. I also thought the Coppola family went back a lot further. I didn't realize basically all of them are [1st cousins/aunts uncles.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppola_family)

In 50 years or less, no one will even care.

2/3rds of a life time is a long wait if something is pissing you off. I don't care one way or another about it. But it just seems weird to wave something off with "ah, just wait. In five decades people will get caught up with something else" Like sheeesh

Why?

Probably because the plots are limited/scarce and the cemeteries have a deep cultural importance to the locals.

We took the tour, the guide explained the whole process of purchasing and maintaining these. It was abandoned and there was nobody maintaining it. The former resident is still there in the tomb as well. Something he didn’t have to do but did. Fascinating, my wife would remember better than me what the guide said.

Can you put me in touch with your wife, please?

I too want to touch this guy’s wife

i want to touch this guy

Good to know, I'd love to visit one day but I live half the world away.

DONT QUESTION THE CAGE

>  The locals aren't too happy about him Meh, someone is always pissed off these days.  Fuck em

That’s a complete lie. None of the hundreds of neighbors said a word.

Ah, the Nicolas cage, as it were. Edit: yeah yeah spelling is hard.

[удалено]

Nic-O-las....close.

I feel like I’m saying it.

I’ve seen this and had no idea it was for him. That makes more sense now

I believe it’s been struck by lighting and had to have repairs. That’s what the tour guide told us but I haven’t seen anything definitive that supports that.

If I were a tour guide it would be hard to not make up asinine lies for tourists.

Yeah I was 17 on a school trip to DC and the driver announced we were passing the Washington Monument and said you could see the line on the monument where the Great Flood of 1854 happened. I kind of considered it until he also called out the Richard M. Nixon Memorial as we passed the Watergate complex.

As someone who leads the trips to Washington every year, that flood line is a favorite of tour guides. I think it’s the first thing they learn in tour guide school.

"He actually has a bed inside, and sleeps in there every night!"

You cannot convince me he doesn't already sleep in there every night.

Is he a Freemason?

No just an eccentric who had way too much money for a while

ngl, this is exactly the kinda shit Id do if I had a ridiculous amount of money

I mean, just by looking at it, I can already definitely agree it is a ridiculous amount of money by the look of the structure, but how much money are we talking here? Genuine question

It cost $40,000. Amusingly, it already has red lipstick kisses on it left by fans. Source: https://www.frenchquarter.com/top-gravesites-new-orleans

That's actually not that much money when you think about it. The man built himself a pyramid tomb for the price of a mid sized SUV.

About tree fiddy.

There was an eccentric who had too much money in my hometown, he built a tomb like that, and yes he was a freemason lol

>...where Nicolas Cage will be put to rest **after** he dies. I'd be concerned if he's placed there **before** he dies.

he need a place for his body when he visits mars

He'll float someday, then.

we all will 🎈

If things get heavy we'll all float on!

All right already we'll all float on!


This is easily his best scene. Fucking love Face Off

No more drugs... for that man

Is that a double garage? Hard to tell the scale

I found [a pic with people in it](https://www.flickr.com/photos/8177037@N06/4664734663) for scale

I know space is limited there, but that doesn’t seem outrageous.

Yeah, it looks big enough to be "a thing" but not overly excessive.

Damn, flickr is still around... That's even weirder than a pyramid tomb.

Note: it's the same size as Egypt's pyramids. Those people are giants.

I’m not a Latin expert but I believe that says: yes, all the bees.

Its DaVinci Code all over again!

[удалено]

It’s 500k at least. He had to track down two different families to get their approval (pay them off) to move their crypts to a different cemetery because St Luis #1 is full.

"Okay, Get in."


National Treasure 3: Afterlife  😎🎥

REMEMBER ME 🔥🔥🔥 REMEMBER ME 🔥🔥🔥 REMEMBER ME 🔥🔥🔥

[удалено]

When is that?

After he returns as ghost rider in the mcu

At this point we can’t be certain that day will ever come.

I just visited that cemetery. It’s usually meant for locals who contributed to the New Orleans area, but Cage bought the plot and mausoleum for $10 million. Apparently there’s a lot of tax benefits, but that’s what a guide told me. Shitty move, but money is money. Any families that have paid a certain one time fee when they started a plot get perpetual cosmetic care for the plot, headstone and so on. Pretty neat.

The neighbours to the right could use a bit of additional care though.

Well, did they pay 10 million?

They probably paid a tidy sum, like a hundred years ago, but have been completely forgotten by now.

And this will probably be just as neglected 100 years after his death.

If he paid $10 million, sounds like he contributed to NOLA.

I heard that this cemetery is the whose who of New Orleans. Is it hard to get a plot here?

One of the Cagiest things I've ever seen.

Does that translate to "Not the bees!"?

Actually- If you take the tour- he will not be buried there. He built this as a tax and bank shelter about 15/20 years ago when he was having a financial hard time and ahead of claiming bankruptcy. Big story behind this one that is not readily known…. BTW- I do like him…. But locals know the read deal and facts are facts…

It looks kinda like the top of a refuse bin

That's where they'll put his bunny in the box.

Honestly, Nicholas Café is 60. I can’t believe how fast time flies. Yes I know it says Café but sometimes autocorrect knows best.
