Nicolas Cage quits one of the latest film  projects called Trespass and has retreated to the Bahamas. Trespass was only one movie that Cage is working on, and he quits just after a long promotional tour.

Trespass is a Louisiana-set thriller that was ready to begin filming in two weeks. Nicolas Cage is doing too many movies at once. In fact, the actor has pulled something of a disappearing act after a long promotional tour for Disney’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The film is directed by Joel Schumacher.

The movie centers around a married couple taken hostage by thieves looking for an easy pay day. Nicole Kidman is set to play the wife, with Cage originally set to play the husband before he changed his mind a few weeks ago and switched to the role of the leader of the kidnappers. Producer Avi Lerner is currently scrambling to find an available actor to replace Nicolas Cage.

This means that the project has to justify the film’s $35 million budget. Cage was set to make a $7 million paycheck with the movie. The actor has been a steady performer for Lerner over the past few years, having appeared in “The Wicker Man,” “The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call -- New Orleans” and the upcoming “Drive Angry 3D.”
