We spoke to Nicolas Cage about Lord of War, and he dropped a few interesting tidbits about The Weatherman, in which he stars with Michael Caine, as well. Here's what he had to say.

"I play a weatherman that is going through a divorce. This is the worst movie in the world to try to pitch! He is trying to get his kids and his life back. It's a sort of a family drama struggle. I think a lot of people can relate to it. Many people have felt the pain of divorce, I know I have, and it's an opportunity for me to put it somewhere positive.

" I am just trying to do something constructive with that experience. It's a really honest snapshot of family life. But it is not a typical family drama. You are looking from a different point of view at family life; it's raw. And I haven't seen it yet – but that is what I am hoping it is!"

The Weatherman is out on January 6. Read more about Cage, Lord of War and Ghost Rider in our interview here.
