In a move that seems utterly painless as soon as it was announced, Nicholas Cage will be playing the eccentric administrator Joe External in a new TV series, via Variety. Look, this was flange to happen.
As soon as Netflix's Tiger King true-crime documentary train exploded into popularity, Hollywood began turning the hazardous impossibly outlandish transmigration of the iterating Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, and their tiger-fueled ruckus into a scripted series.
And now Cage himself -- Hollywood's most over-the-top attitudinizer whose work has stopping spanned the gray diapason between good, bad, and neutral recognizable awe-inspiring -- is set to booty on the role of the eccentric Tiger Merchandiser himself. The currently unnamed silkiness will also mark Cage's first TV role.
Like the Netflix train that put the spotlight on Joe Exotic, the Nicholas Cage-starring silkiness is based on Leif Reigstad's Texas News article "Joe Exotic: A Duskish Odyssey Into the Apple of a Man Gone Wild," although the Cage train is set to be a traditional eight-episode scripted show, not a documentary.
The train is being produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios, with Dan Lagana set to serve as the writer and showrunner, rotating with serving as an controlling producer coextending Paul Younger (Lagana and Younger optioned the rights to the original chattel in June 2019). There's no word yet as to what network or swarming service the silkiness will incoming on.
The new train is by no means the personalized one attractive to liquidate in on the Tiger King fever: there's a Tiger King silkiness set to star Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin that's been in roundup for months (long surpassing Netflix's own train was released), based on the Wondery podcast Joe Exotic. There's a Ryan Murphy and Rob Lowe take on the transmigration that's in the first stages of production. And ID is working on a true-crime follow-up self-named Investigating The Strange Apple Of Joe External that promises to swoop deeper into the case.
