Nicolas Cage New Movie News: 'Left Behind' Star Set to Play Comedy Role in 'Army of One'

New reports are claiming that the 'Left Behind' actor, Nicolas Cage, is preparing for his next film role, a satirical comedy about Osama Bin Laden called 'Army Of One'

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the movie, 'Army of One,' will be based on actual events and star Nicolas Cage. However, the actor won't be playing the war criminal, but instead a man who goes out on a hunt for him.

"Army of One is loosely based on Chris Heath's GQ magazine article recounting the real-life misadventures of Gary Faulkner, a Colorado construction worker who took it upon himself to find Bin Laden, including trying to sneak into Pakistan and Afghanistan numerous times," writes THR.

The movie will be led by "Borat" director, Larry Charles. He's projected to start shooting in March with a goal of releasing the film by the end of this year. Harvey and Bob Weinstein will also be producing the film.

"For many years I've been a fan of Larry Charles, from his work on Seinfeld to Borat and Bruno and, most recently, The Dictator," said Bob Weinstein.

The Weinstein brothers will be releasing this movie in the U.S. through their TWC-dimension banner, although there is no release date on the project yet.

"The semi-scripted project was written by Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph, who teamed on Draft Day. Ostroff and Conde Nast Entertainment's Jeremy Steckler are producing alongside Stern and Emile Gladstone at Emile Gladstone Productions," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"This is an incredibly talented group of filmmakers and we are looking forward to working with them to bring this fascinating story from GQ to life," said Ostroff.

The film is definitely poised to be one of a kind. Cage doesn't do too many comedies, at least not recently, so to see him in a role like this should be something new for fans.
