NASSAU, Bahamas - After more than 55 films, Nicolas Cage plans to cut
back on acting to pursue other interests, such as helping develop
independent cinema in his new home of the Bahamas.
"I'm thinking about taking more time in between movies," the Oscar
winner told The Associated Press backstage at the third annual Bahamas
International Film Festival.
"I feel I've made a lot of movies already and I want to start exploring
other opportunities that I can apply myself to, whether it's writing or
other interests that I may develop," he said.
Cage was in Nassau late Friday to receive the Chopard Award for career
achievement. Fellow actor Sean Connery, Cage's co-star in the 1996
thriller "The Rock," presented the award at the Atlantis Theater in
Paradise Island.
"Nic is a professional and brings to the table all the stuff that makes
it a real joy," Connery said.
Cage, who won a best-actor Oscar for 1995's "Leaving Las Vegas," owns a
house in Paradise Island and bought an undeveloped private island in
the Exuma Cays this year.
He said he hopes the film festival continues to grow. Some 50
narrative, documentary and short films from around the world are being
showcased during the four-day festival, which began Thursday.

Does this mean he won't be doing as many films or that he's going to
reduce the overacting and shameless mugging by a percentage?

Hmm. Could this be PR-talk for "not getting as many offers for acting jobs
as he used to"?
