Seriously now, Nicolas Cage needs to stop making movies.  Or at least cut back a little.  According to IMDB, Cage has seven movies slated for release in 2009.  (I’m worried as much for his health as I am for the state of the cinema of course…)  These include The Ghost, the Bad Lieutenant remake, Amarillo Slim, Electric God, The Dance, and two animated movies.  A trailer for Knowing, the first wave of Cage’s 2009 theatrical onslaught, has just been posted online and it looks amazing!

Watch the trailer in High Definition over at IGN.com.

Okay, I wasn’t sincere with the “amazing” comment, but I had to be sure you’d watch it.  It looks to be another generic thriller along the lines of Cage’s own Next, albeit without the eye-candy of blogger Jessica Biel.  A time capsule buried in a schoolyard fifty years ago contains a cryptic note that appears to predict future calamities!  As bland as the movie looks, I admit I’m intrigued by the trailer’s last line of dialogue.  They could do something interesting there… and I’ll find out when the DVD is released.

Knowing is directed by Alex Proyas, who previously made I, Robot, Dark City, and The Crow.  Proyas’ films are always visually arresting, even the ones that really aren’t that good.  (I’m looking at you Dark City.)

What do you think of the first teaser trailer for Knowing?
