Nicolas Cage Will Hunt Osama bin Laden in New Movie

If you thought “Seth Rogen and James Franco assassinate Kim Jong-un” was a weird premise for a movie, get ready for this one: Nicolas Cage is hunting for Osama bin Laden.

Yes, Nic Cage versus bin Laden.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star of such mega-hits as The NOT THE BEES Movie! and Ghost Rider: Not in the Avengers, will be starring in Army of One, a comedy directed by Larry Charles (most famous for directing Borat and The Dictator, and working with Larry David on both Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm).

The movie is based on a GQ article about Gary Faulkner, a man armed with a sword and pistol who traveled to Pakistan to hunt down and capture bin Laden.

Yeah, this sounds about right for Nic Cage.
