Nicolas Cage Was Almost Cast As Sweet Tooth In A 'Twisted Metal' Movie
Imagine the cacophony of heavy metal, roaring motors, gunfire, and explosions that made Mad Max: [...]
Nic Cage As Sweet Tooth
The kicker? Nicolas Cage was supposed to star as Twisted Metal's terrifying mascot, Sweet Tooth. "By the way," he said, "I wanted Nic Cage to be Sweet Tooth... Even Sweet Tooth is kind of like the Fury Road guy, you know it's the mask and the clown with the crazy car. It kind of feels the same."
Sadly, it just wasn't meant to be. "It's not worth doing it unless you can really push the envelope and do destruction people haven't seen before. So I don't know," Taylor concluded, "it's sort of in movie purgatory, but I tell ya it's cool."
Please, Sony if you're out there, listen to this interview and imagine how crazy your fans would go over a film like this. The average gamer is around 35, which means that the average gamer is very familiar with how badass the Twisted Metal series was and still can be.
