While Nic Cage being attached is no guarantee of quality, I do find it interesting this is his first TV series. I'm sure he's been offered TV roles before, so to me this implies he might really believe in the project.

Lord and Miller being involved is a good sign, too; but I'm not sure how much influence a producer really has, to be honest, so it might not mean anything for the show's quality.

Either way I'll definitely be watching it since I love Nic Cage and greatly enjoyed him as Spider-Noir in the Spider-Verse movie; but with Sony's track record, I'm only cautiously optimistic.

His name gives nothing away of the quality, it could be horrible or amazing, but its gonna be entertaining regardless, much like his entire catalogue of work.

[-] UrLogicFails@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I agree. I have no idea of the quality of the show, but Nic Cage doing his best Noire impression will be entertaining either way

That's fair. Sony hasn't done much lately with their own live action Spider-Man related projects to deserve the benefit of the doubt but I'm willing to be surprised. Nic Cage leading the series is at least enough to get me to give it an honest chance.

Almost all of the Sony Spider-Man movies since 2008 have been of questionable quality. Even the ones I enjoy (Venom, Madame Webb) are only fun in the so-bad-it's-good kind of way.

I really don't have very high hopes for Noir because of that, but I am sure I'll still be entertained by Nic Cage; and I am a little hopeful since Lord and Miller are involved in some capacity (though I'm not sure what the extent of their involvement is).

I heard someone say that Nicholas Cage was almost cast as Superman...

We were robbed.

He got a brief CGI cameo in the recent Flash movie as Superman as well.

Silent Bob. That's where I first heard it. It's a hilarious story from the Evening with Kevin Smith DVD.
