Nicolas Cage has announced plans to curtail his future acting endeavors in order to pursue interests outside of the realm of Tinseltown. The Oscar winner made the semi-retirement announcement over the weekend at the third annual Bahamas International Film Festival. “I’m thinking about taking more time in between movies,” the 42-year-old actor told the Associated Press. “I feel I’ve made a lot of movies already and I want to start exploring other opportunities that I can apply myself to, whether it’s writing or other interests that I may develop.” While Cage may be reducing his workload, he was quick to note he’s not taking himself out of the Hollywood game completely. The World Trade Center star, who has appeared in more than 55 films over his three-decade career, currently has eight movies in the pipeline including National Treasure II next Christmas.
