I’m not a huge fan of Nicolas Cage. I mean, he’s had a couple good movies, but it’s hard to imagine him in movies like Ghost Rider (awful!) and Next (haven’t seen it, but it LOOKED awful!).

Knowing actually looks pretty good, though.  He’s playing a smart guy, which is the kind of guy we expect him to play.  The fact that he has a piece of paper that predicts major disasters, and possibly the end of the world, is actually kind of intriguing.  He doesn’t have any super powers, hasn’t made any pacts with the Devil, he just uses his brain to figure something out and that’s all we really need from him.

Check out the trailer below!

Summit Entertainment provided USA Today with a first look at Nicolas Cage in Alex Proyas’ Knowing.

Alex Proyas is best known for directing I,Robot and Dark City.

Knowing Synopsis:

In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one of the students, a mysterious girl who seems to hear whispered voices, fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead.

Fast forward 50 years to the present: A new generation of students examines the contents of the time capsule and the girl’s cryptic message ends up in the hands of young CALEB MYLES. But it is Caleb’s father, professor TED MYLES (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As Ted further unravels the document’s secrets, he realizes it foretells three additional events—the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve Ted and his son. When Ted’s attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction from taking place.

This gripping supernatural thriller charts one man’s faltering steps towards belief in the ultimate order of the universe even as he finds himself surrounded by mounting chaos. With the reluctant help of DIANA WHELAN (Rose Byrne) and ABBY, the daughter and granddaughter of the now-deceased author of the cryptic prophecies, Ted’s increasingly desperate efforts take him on a heart-pounding race against time until he finds himself facing the ultimate disaster—and the ultimate sacrifice.
