Rosa Byrne has jumped aboard the train with Nick Cage for the upcoming Sci-Fi thriller Knowing. We get the scoop today from the fabled caves of yahoo:
Byrne will play the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule bearing the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse. After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the initially skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood. Alex Proyas (“I, Robot”) will direct.
I enjoy a good movie about the apocalypse and finding your prophet mothers time capsule full of predictions is as cool a place as any to unravel this tale. For some reason Nick Cage seems to belong in this story. If someone told me the plot of the film and asked me who should star in it, I would recommend him without hesitation.
Rose Byrne recently scored a Golden Globe for her performance in Damages. Following up the win with an apocalyptic sci-fi thriller is how I would celebrate too. There are people that every actress should strive to work alongside and Nick Cage is one of them. He has a unique style that can hit or miss depending, but he is his own man, and I never discount a film with him in it. For every National Treasure (sucks) there is a Face/Off (awesome).
No word yet on when Knowing will be in theaters, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
Love nicholas cage…he picks interesting, great movies. I couldn’t stand Rose Burne, she mumbles her dialog so you can’t hear or understand what she’s saying and she only has 2 expressions. One when she’s only staring off looking at something and one where she’s starting with her mouth gaping open and she is trying to look scared or sad or something. and that’s the problem you can’t tell which emotion she’s trying to convey, you want to yell at her, “Say Something!”
Just saw Knowing…ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! Great job
to all the actors…would see again. For me, this movie is one of the “those movies” that sticks with you long after the movie is over. Very intense with
raw emotion. I was completely impressed…GO SEE IT!!!
Who are those people in knowing? they look like demons.
I love Rose byrne in Damages
I hope she win Emmy 2008
I hope she does a very great movies, she deserved becouse she is a great atriz

Chandler just won a Young Artist Award for his guest starring role in Criminal Minds. Knowing should really be GREAT!

I agree with Doug.
A “Nuff” is a good adjective to describe those writing derogative comments. I think Nic cage has more than proven his acting ability and charisma on screen. The man is a draw card. Put him,Byrne and upcoming youngster,Cantebury togethor in a Proyas directed movie,you cant go wrong. Escape artists originated the project with novelist Ryne Pearson writing the first draft. Proven,talented actors with a great script. I Cant wait.

Saw the Canterbury kid in Criminal Minds last night. Amazing!!!!!!!! He will match up to Cage well. This should be great.
Don’t know why all the hate for Cage. Face/Off and The Rock – nuff said.
Hi there guys an girls of the world.

I must say, yes his acting side of it, has been down for a few years now.

I heard that Chandler Canterbury is going to play the son in Knowing. He is fantastic!!! You can see him on Criminal Minds on March 12 “In Birth and Death.” He has done 4 movies in 2007 yet to come out. Chandler is hot!
anything Alex Proyas touches is gold
Nic Cage hasn’t been great in years. He’s demonstrated a complete disregard for good material. His schlocky movies aren’t even decent within the category of empty popcorn fare.
He might have a good performance still in there somewhere but it’s becoming increasingly less likely at every turn.
And what’s happened to his mouth? Is it just me or did his teeth get even bigger in the last two years? Might just be that whitening has placed undue and glaring emphasis on his weakest/worst physical feature.
Rose Byrne is an excellent actress. Nicolas Cage is an abomination. I detest him. He is the only actor I actually refuse to watch, Tea Leoni being the only actress. Can’t stand him and he’s ruined this film for me by being attached. Ugh.
Rose was great in Sunshine. She has come a long way from being Padme’s decoy who gets killed in Attack of the Clones.
Well glad to see Alex Proyas is going to direct something again. It’s been way too long.
Rose Byrne! Awesome! She’s a great actress. Alex Proyas! Wow! He’s a great director. Nic Cage… eh. Not so much.
