I think what’s so great about his acting in this film is the fact that while he is creepy, he also comes off as comical. Strange but comically strange. But as you watch him, you start become more and more uncomfortable watching him before it becomes downright unsettling. I don’t think anyone could have pulled it off as well as Nicolas Cage did. Truly an amazing, Oscar-worthy performance
@@Model_Roe He deserves it for this one. Not sure if the academy will agree, but then again they gave emma stone best actress last year for Poor Things, which was also a pretty odd role.
@@ReadIcculus93 Agree but Poor Things is not horror and the Academy has some weird bias against horror movies this has always been the case no matter how ground breaking or incredible a horror movie has been they never nominate it since Nicolas is a "brand" name and already won an Oscar and has been in showbusiness for decades they might make him the exception and nominate him also the director Os Perkins is kind of a nepo baby himself so I would not be surprised if he gets nominated
Man, this dude is way smarter and more aware than most people give him credit for. Let's celebrate while we can, we're all gonna miss him when he's gone.
@@jng24 I'm getting old too. I might survive him by maybe 10 years. Yes, I am that old. I guess, to people younger than my own children, that is f****** ancient. One of my kids is a millennial, the other gen z. I forget how many generations are younger than me sometimes. My mom was an early Boomer.
we love an educated and complex king, him talking about masculine and feminine existing in everyone is so true and you don’t usually hear older men (or women) speaking about that, let alone using that to create a character
11:59 I LOVE his thoughts on horror and it being a platform for vast exploration. We see too many reviewers and commenters so rigidly proclaim this or that "isn't REAL HORROR", but horror is an artform and it's all subjective.
This is the most insightful interview! Great questions! What an honor to be given this opportunity to hear from one of the best actor's our time! These exchanges are so much better than the marketing tours on morning shows or late night talk shows actors go on to promote their movies...
@@Ladylibidex weirdest movie to appear in a long time and by weird I mean how divided it makes the viewers. Some say scary while some say not scary at all. I just came from watching a review where the 2 guys were making fun of how awful Cage's mask was in this movie and here you are saying it was amazing. personally have not seen it yet and just making observations on the division.
This is such a refreshingly real and special interview! Thank-you! Cheers! p.s. "Did I ever tell you that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?" -Nicolas Cage in "Wild at Heart."
Horror is definitely having a renaissance and I would not be surprised if Nicolas Is and Maika all get nominated for Oscars which would be progressive for the genre since horror always seems to be overlooked
The movie is really complex...I had to watch it twice to appreciate the genius from the director and the overall terrifying message. The movie was well done by everyone.
Great interview! Cage was awesome in this eerie movie, and love how he channeled his mom--totally makes sense! And let's also give an honorable mention to the interviewer's eyebrows. 😳
He did GREAT!!! I LOVED seeing him in a role like this, it definitely widened his scope & edge within acting. He has now redeemed himself in my eyes lol. This was VERY DIFFERENT for him. Hope he does more horror roles. Iconic and unexpected, it will probably be a point of recognition for him
Nic is the GOAT, I love his piece on philosophy. Took so many courses on it, got me through a dark time and changed me for the better. Wish more people appreciated the art.
I have been a huge Nick Cage fan since raising Arizona and he has been in amazing films and mediocre films but he always brings it and elevated anything he is in.
Everyone in the film put in great performances, Cage's especially but also Maika Monroe, Alicia Witt especially and even Blair Underwood all turned in great performances and Longlegs needs to get some recognition from the Academy Awards later because it's been about 10 years since I've seen a movie anywhere near this scary.
Wanna call Nic Cage-aissance bc he's throwing so much hot Moonstruck and Vampire's Kiss action these days, but who am I kidding it's always been Cage time.
He's so articulate about his acting. Like Colin Farrell and Andrew Garfield. I would love to see Mr. Cage do an "Actors on Actors" with one of these two. Or both !
I bought Renfield as soon as it came out, just so that I can watch an unhinged Nicolas Cage as often as I wanted to. I imagine this movie will be similar. Definitely going to see it.
Can't wait to see this film this Friday! I already sense I am really going to like the film, I don't know if I will love it (I hope I do) but I don't think I will be left disappointed, that I am positive about. The marketing for this film has been perfect, the trailers are amazing and from the first couple early reviews I can tell that this film is going to be something unforgettable, definitely will leave you thinking about it afterwards for sure.
This film is indescribable. I FEEL the uneasiness and unsettling that the characters would feel. Favorite movie of his. Hands down. Cult hit. IMMEDIATELY
For some reason he reminds me of Dennis Hopper in this interview and right away it took me back to Apocalypse Now when he was explaining Colonel Kurtz character.😅 This is probably Nicolas Cage out of all the interviews that I seen his best.👍
Nick Cage is cool af.
He sure is
You had 69 likes. I'm sorry if I had to distrupt that coolness, but what you said is an actual fact and I had to approve.
I fell in love w/ him when I 1stsaw that movie:" face off"
I will never see him the same after reading the story about him in Seth Rogans book
@@Toughmittensi cant imagine what that story would be he is very crazy

Oscar worthy?😂 did we watch the same movie? It was just a Bobo B movie ripping off silence of the lambs
@@Eric-de5sqI agree it’s Oscar worthy
@@Eric-de5sq Film was oscar worthy.
@Eric-de5sq try harder
@@Eric-de5sqdo you even watch the movie? ohh you're the kinds that support StarWarsAcolyte, sure lil bro
The absolute love Nic has for acting is a beautiful thing to behold
Longlegs is one my favorite Nic Cage performances. Such a great artist
Agreed !
I think he is gonna get nominated for an Oscar I see it

Man, this dude is way smarter and more aware than most people give him credit for. Let's celebrate while we can, we're all gonna miss him when he's gone.
Why are you acting like he's about to die?
Yeah. You're scaring me. What do you know that we don't know?
That he's getting old
@@jng24 I'm getting old too. I might survive him by maybe 10 years. Yes, I am that old. I guess, to people younger than my own children, that is f****** ancient. One of my kids is a millennial, the other gen z. I forget how many generations are younger than me sometimes. My mom was an early Boomer.
He is the aware wolf of Hollywood.
an honor listening to Nic Cage for one of his most awaited movies in ages, thanks to AP for this
He always gives well thought out answers in interviews
we love an educated and complex king, him talking about masculine and feminine existing in everyone is so true and you don’t usually hear older men (or women) speaking about that, let alone using that to create a character
He is so cool. I can't put my finger on it
Really one of the most interesting actors ever
Nic Cage’s filmography at this point is insane
he's the best
I currently own 34 of his movies, it might be the most wild filmography of all time. So many genres, so many incredible performances
Such a treat to hear him articulate his ideas. One of the best.
Truly it is a treat…… also isn’t atheism normal by now? I feel it isn’t weird to hear that someone’s atheist.
Nic Cage is in his career Renaissance, and I'm here for it
You really have to commend Nic not just for the diversity of his roles, but the dedication and execution. He's definitely a man of his craft.
11:59 I LOVE his thoughts on horror and it being a platform for vast exploration. We see too many reviewers and commenters so rigidly proclaim this or that "isn't REAL HORROR", but horror is an artform and it's all subjective.
And THIS. His performance as longlegs terrifies me. It is horrifying.
Cage is a mage of acting and throwing him self into these rolls. Can’t wait to see Longlegs this Friday!
Roles* though I am sure if you threw some rolls at him he would demolish them like most people would. 😂
I just got back from the theater did u like it
I just saw this yesterday. What did you think? Cage was amazing. And that song....perfection
Nic Cage Gave a spellbinding and haunting performance. It was amazing
I love his articulations
Honestly, Longlegs is probably my favorite Cage character. His performance is absolutely haunting and powerful.
Yes some people reaction to the film were unjustified the played the part convincingly
I hope to be this energetic and sharp minded at 60, still doing excellent work!
Two legends. Nicolas Cage and Jim Morrison behind him.
My wife looked over while I was watching this and was like, “is that Charles Manson?”
I’m pretty sure that’s Charles Manson…or at least what I thought but could be wrong
@katz0625 no, it's one hundred percent Morrison in his last year or so of life
@@Ryoufriggingserious wow to look just like Manson wouldn’t be fun!! Thank you for not being rude to me about it because a lot of people are on here
I thought it was Rasputin lol
This is the most insightful interview! Great questions! What an honor to be given this opportunity to hear from one of the best actor's our time! These exchanges are so much better than the marketing tours on morning shows or late night talk shows actors go on to promote their movies...
LONGLEGS, one of the BEST performances I've ever seen from Nicolas Cage! 🙂
I know right. Brilliance from the beginning to end and the make up was amazing. Truly terrifying.
@@Ladylibidex weirdest movie to appear in a long time and by weird I mean how divided it makes the viewers. Some say scary while some say not scary at all. I just came from watching a review where the 2 guys were making fun of how awful Cage's mask was in this movie and here you are saying it was amazing. personally have not seen it yet and just making observations on the division.
I would say my second after Leaving Las Vegas
It’s a masterpiece
He is such an interesting actor, I love hearing the way he breaks things down in his head.
Great interview. Love Cage. He is a great actor. I didnt expect to use his mom as inspiration for Longlegs. Cant wait to see it. 👏👏👏👏
Increeeedible interview!! Really great questions you can tell he was excited to get to talk about the character in the context of acting
I could listen to this dude alllll dayyyy. He’s so interesting! Great interview ❤️
The GREAT NICK CAGE can’t wait for longlegs been a longtime fan of his since faceoff
I've been a fan since Fast Times and Valley Girl. His versatility is amazing! I will watch anything he is in 🥰🥰
I particularly love the film Matchstick Men. Such an amazing performance.
His thoughts on acting (naturalistic vs surreal) was very enlightening. He seems to really know his craft.
My favorite actor. He brings 110%
This is such a refreshingly real and special interview! Thank-you! Cheers! p.s.
"Did I ever tell you that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?" -Nicolas Cage in "Wild at Heart."
This was a superb interview with Nicholas Cage. And a great interview period.
Great interview
He’s right. Energy is fluid!
Horror is definitely having a renaissance and I would not be surprised if Nicolas Is and Maika all get nominated for Oscars which would be progressive for the genre since horror always seems to be overlooked
The movie is really complex...I had to watch it twice to appreciate the genius from the director and the overall terrifying message. The movie was well done by everyone.
i need more 😭 so compelling to hear his thought process
Nic Cage is such a gift of a human being and we are lucky to witness his art. thank you Nic Cage
He's so spot-on about all of this. Thanks nic for putting so much thought and effort into that performance, it really paid off exponentially
Great interview!
Cage was awesome in this eerie movie, and love how he channeled his mom--totally makes sense!
And let's also give an honorable mention to the interviewer's eyebrows. 😳
The trailers are so promising, I loved the marketing! Can’t wait to see it on theaters.
Its amazing and the theater experience increases the emotional effect. Highly recommend ❤
“well the villian never sees himself as a villian” Nick cage how come you so brilliant pookie
He did GREAT!!! I LOVED seeing him in a role like this, it definitely widened his scope & edge within acting. He has now redeemed himself in my eyes lol. This was VERY DIFFERENT for him. Hope he does more horror roles. Iconic and unexpected, it will probably be a point of recognition for him
I can't wait to see this movie and Thank you Mr. Perkins and Mr. Cage too 👏👏👏👏
Wow what a treat - awesome interview - can't wait to see this movie
Can't wait to watch this.. now i'm longing more for that national treasure trilogy
Nic IS a national treasure 😂💯👏
I will be so thrilled if, or rather when, NT3 arrives. Oh, and Longlegs was tremendous.
Always thrilled to see what ever Cage does! Would love to see him back with Lynch.
"You can do that when you're feeling artistic" Great quote 👌🏼
Nic is the GOAT, I love his piece on philosophy. Took so many courses on it, got me through a dark time and changed me for the better. Wish more people appreciated the art.
Nic Cage in my top 3 favorite and greatest actors of all time.
He's come a long way!
Horror and stunt performers should definitely get more acknowledgement from The Academy.
this is the coolest interview ever
Such an honest interview
This dude is just on another level of consciousness. His love for the art of film is infectious.
I have been a huge Nick Cage fan since raising Arizona and he has been in amazing films and mediocre films but he always brings it and elevated anything he is in.

He‘s such an great actor ❤
Wanna call Nic Cage-aissance bc he's throwing so much hot Moonstruck and Vampire's Kiss action these days, but who am I kidding it's always been Cage time.
The only problem about Nick is he doesn’t make enough movies. Love him.
He's so articulate about his acting. Like Colin Farrell and Andrew Garfield. I would love to see Mr. Cage do an "Actors on Actors" with one of these two. Or both !
I bought Renfield as soon as it came out, just so that I can watch an unhinged Nicolas Cage as often as I wanted to. I imagine this movie will be similar. Definitely going to see it.
Excellent interview ❤
Saying filming a horror is healing is iconic asf
This is so inspiring and interesting.

Thank you for calling out the Academy!!!
This was Nicholas' bedt performance yet. He deserves an Oscar for this!
We love you Mr Cage ❤
Wonderful interview 👏👏😘
Nicholas Cage is just an amazing actor!! Love pretty much every movie he has done
Can’t wait to see this movie ! Also his outfit here really reminds me of the first Max Payne game ! So awesome 😂
Absolutely the mans best work. Unquestionably.
How can we convince Nicholas Cage to start a book club? 😊 The only celebrity book club I want to be a part of.
Why, you want to join a cult that hard? Look for yourself instead
@@superbn0vaI’m not sure you understand what a book club is
Amazing performance imo. One of his best I think.
You left me sooooo uncomfortable and amazed Mr. Cage 😮😮❤❤❤❤ your performance is so brilliant I absolutely loved it!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nicholas Cage has had one of the most fabulous rebirths for an actor.
fantastic performance, captivating interview
1 word = Fascinating!
Nic Cage is the first man to perfect Neoshamanism.
I just admire him so much
This film is indescribable. I FEEL the uneasiness and unsettling that the characters would feel. Favorite movie of his. Hands down. Cult hit. IMMEDIATELY
I have seen the movie. Nick Cage - what an amazing actor! 😎
Great interview.
Bought my tickets for Friday night!!
This might be Cage's best role and certainly his most unique character. Which is wild to think he's managed to raise the bar again.
Nicolas Cage is one of the greatest actors of our generation
Great interview!
Cage has got a Mothra figure in the background. Absolutely adore this man.
Totally makes sense when you WATCH this movie. He is brilliant and the movie was one of the best I’ve seen in years. Bravo ❤
What a performer. WHAT A GENIUS
i could seriously listen to him speak for hours
Always gives his best for every movie.
Nic Cage is the GOAT.
For some reason he reminds me of Dennis Hopper in this interview and right away it took me back to Apocalypse Now when he was explaining Colonel Kurtz character.😅
This is probably Nicolas Cage out of all the interviews that I seen his best.👍
The night I saw Longlegs?? I went home and ended the night watching Valley Girl.....Nicholas Cage night lol. Beginning/Finale....😉
He is amazing, Always has been.
Nic I hope we keep you another 40 years!
Love this guy so much!
🎉kudos and props to this King...give him his flowers 💐🌹🌷🌸
Seeing it on Tuesday!
