In the past week, Nicholas Cage has signed on to an ambitious 3D revenge thriller, committed to a movie called Hungry Rabbit Jumps, and has dropped out of The Green Hornet. So that means, in less than 168 hours, Mr. Cage has chosen to headline two bizarre gambles and has exited a surefire superhero blockbuster. And with pics about a sorcerer’s apprentice and a medieval witch hunt due out within the next six months, it’s safe to say that the Oscar winner has emerged as the most unconventional, least predictable A-lister of all time.  That’s why we went ahead and took a guess at Nic Cage’s next twenty moves…

1.  Casted as JonBenet Ramsey in the biopic Pageant Princess.

2.  Toplines the remake of Ishtar.

3. Turns down Spielberg’s invitation to play Abraham Lincoln.

4. Finances a bro-mantic comedy starring Heidi and Spencer.

5. Boards the sci-fi epic Firth-Control, a film about a pill that makes woman immune to Collin Firth’s charm. Cage plays an evil scientist.

6. Writes, directs, and stars in Cage Match, a violent reinvention of Multiplicity.

11. Delivers a one-man performance of The Wizard of Oz on Broadway.

12.  Authors a tell-all book about the filming of It Could Happen to You, titled It Happened to Me.

16.  Backs the Republican Party.
