Is Nicolas Cage doing a Charlize/Gwyneth?

Who will save the day?

Remember when Kidman was all set to start filming THE DANISH GIRL with Charlize Theron? Remember when Charlize pulled out? Then Gwyneth Paltrow stepped in to replace Charlize. However, not long after, Gwyneth pulled out too. THE DANISH GIRL remains on hold.

In another post, we mentioned that Kidman was set to start filming a thriller called TRESPASS with Nicolas Cage this month. Nicolas was cast to play Kidman's husband, but apparently pulled out of the film just days ago. The word is that he didn't want to play that character, preferring the role of the abductor. Anyway, the lastest news is that he has rejoined the cast, for whatever reason. Contract stuff, perhaps?  There is still time to pull out again, Nicolas.

Do you wonder if it has anything to do with her continued slump in the earnings list. Just yesterday, reports came through that Kidman continues to fall in the pay list of Hollywood actors, and is no longer in the Top 10. Once able to command $18 million for a film, Kidman would be lucky to command 18 cents these days. With a string of flops behind her, is it any real surprise? Even distributors are avoiding touching her still unreleased film THE RABBIT HOLE.

Is her new Agent working hard to enough to turn things around for Kidman?  Will she ever return to being an overpaid actor?  And what about Nicolas Cage? Is he making a mistake being connected with box office poison ... or is he one too?
