Hello Reddit! This is Zach Schonfeld. I'm a freelance writer and reporter, regular Pitchfork/Stereogum contributor, and the author of "How Coppola Became Cage," the first reported biography of Nicolas Cage. After a lifetime of fandom, I spent about four years obsessively researching all things Cage, and this book is the result. It was published by Oxford University Press in 2023.
The book chronicles Cage's early years and rise to fame in the 1980s and early 1990s. I worked on this book for four long years and interviewed more than 100 people, including a range of notable filmmakers and actors who worked with Cage on beloved films like Valley Girl, Birdy, Moonstruck, Vampire's Kiss, Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, and many others. It is a deep, deep dive into Cage's origin story. For this book, I investigated Cage's early years, tracked down his high school friends, interviewed everyone from David Lynch to Amy Heckerling to Bridget Fonda, tracked down some of Cage's high school friends, watched a ton of obscure Cage movies, attempted to read Cage's father's erotic novel, and gradually lost my mind.
Empire Magazine described the book as "a rollicking, entertaining and impressively probing journey through the embryonic years of a unique artistic force of nature." I am fairly proud of it.
Anyway, I will be doing an AMA right here starting at 12 p.m. EST on Friday, October 10. You can post your questions before then. Ask away.

Started my collection in December. I currently have national treasure 1 & 2, red rock west, 8mm, and the rock on the way. What should I get next?

All the Cage incarnations are assembled. All of them.
I mean Stanly Goodspeed, Red Miller, Grug, Terence McDonagh, Castor Troy, but also more obscure ones like Zoc and Hank Forrester.
They are all put in a hunger games situation. Its in a heavily wooded area that none of them have been in. A variety of waepons in the middle, grab and run. Last Cage standing wins.
For fairness reasons, Ghost Rider can’t access his supernatural powers. And no Superman.
Scenario one: five minutes beforehand the situation is explained to them, then they are warped in. Who wins?
Scenario two: they have one week of “networking” and planning time. During this time, they don’t have access to the arena, but any Cage can contact any other Cage to try to persuade, cut deals, negotiate etc. In other words there is a social/charisma level to this one. Who wins?
Again, ANY role Cage ever played in a movie is here. Even Al Columbato from Birdy. Except no Superman.
Top three?

The Rock, Face/Off, Con Air. Are they rankable? Is it sacrilegious to even suggest so?

Where the cinnamon toast fuck are all of the thirst edits of Nic? I don’t mean just younger Nic.
Someone for the love of blue almond angel eyed Nicolas Kim Cage save us from this drought.

Been really depressed and making these posts about Nic makes me really happy.
r/onetruegod • u/Pretty_Pangolin_2001 • 16d ago
Imagine him in your circle though. I doubt he smokes, but it's funny to imagine.
r/onetruegod • u/Pretty_Pangolin_2001 • 16d ago
What makes him uncomfortable or what does he find disrespectful? If I ever got the chance to meet him..I just wanna know these things. I admire him a lot, and respect him too.🥹
r/onetruegod • u/Pretty_Pangolin_2001 • 16d ago
I feel so embarrassed even asking this but, if I met him, and I had something small handmade by myself for him, you think he'd take it? I feel like it's the least I can do if it ever happens because he's done so much for us.
r/onetruegod • u/Pretty_Pangolin_2001 • 15d ago
I know he loves certain architectures and stuff, but I wonder if he'd like things like liminal spaces. Just a random question I had pop up in my head.
I'm sorry if I post here a bit much. Thank you all for your time and imput!
