Nicolas Cage says he may join ‘True Detective’ and avoid Prime Video over AI
Nicolas Cage said at New York Comic Con that he may act in a season of HBO’s ‘True Detective’.
He has been in talks about a role, but he described the plan as something he might do, not a confirmed commitment.
Cage said he refused to sign a waiver allowing AI to be used in connection with his work on Prime Video’s ‘Spider-Noir’.
He said Amazon is very supportive of AI and that he probably will not work with that studio again.
Cage said he wants to work with younger, Gen Z directors who make projects by hand.
He also said he is considering television because he cannot keep making films back to back.
No casting details or production schedule for ‘True Detective’ were announced.
