“So, it’s about this guy who escapes from Hell and goes on a rampage to save his granddaughter from some guys and he drives a car all over the place. It’s CRAZY!”
“This is another Nic Cage thing, isn’t it?”
“He’s attached, yes.”
(audible sigh)
“But William Fichtner‘s signed on to play a supernatural accountant!”
“I LOVE Bill Fichtner. Alright, I’m greenlighting this picture. Just make sure it’s in 3D.” (IMDb)

“Thanks for taking this meeting. I’ve got a great movie for you.

Of course, he wasn’t in any of the sequels. I don’t know why. Maybe he wanted too much money. Maybe he’s a drug addict or crazy or something. Or maybe, judging by the way the quality of acting seems to get a little bit worse with each installment, the producers wanted to “go in a different direction.” Continue reading Tonn Slingdog Remembers the Franchises, Part Eight: Final Destination
