Nicolas Cage claims Christopher Nolan won’t ‘call him back’ after he turned down movie

Nicolas Cage claims Christopher Nolan and more A-list directors won’t work with him because he’s previously turned down their projects. The actor, 62, worked with director David O. Russell for his upcoming film, “Madden” — in which he plays legendary football coach John Madden — and said Russell was the only director who’s ever reached out to work with him again after he’s said no to a previous film of theirs. Cage claimed Nolan wouldn’t return his calls after he passed on 2002’s “Insomnia,” which starred Al Pacino and the late Robin Williams.
