Apparently, I'm not allowed to say much about this film, except that I was in it (in a small but satisfying role) and that everyone was really lovely, including Nicolas Cage: filming with him, I would have to say, was a career highlight. I hope I acquitted myself well... at least I managed not to burble about Adaptation and Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona (although, personally, if I had given even one performance that good at any time in my life, I could die a happy Canadian). The Humanity Bureau is due out next year.
Filming The Humanity Bureau with Nicolas Cage
As I've said in these pages, you learn a lot by how stars treat those who are much further down the call sheet... especially in the freezing cold at 7 in the morning. As well as being intensely focused and present throughout our scene, Nicolas Cage was unfailingly polite, generous, and kind.
