PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A mini Nicolas Cage film festival is coming to Portland.
From September 5-21, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is bringing a selection of Cage’s films to the museum’s Empirical Theater – home to “the city’s largest screen.”
“Join us for deep cuts and Hollywood hits, all featuring the man, the myth, the legend—Nic Cage,” OMSI wrote in an Instagram post announcing the Nicolas Cage Film Series.
DON’T MISS: Nicolas Cage wants you to see this Oregon-made film
“Nicolas Cage is a cinema icon whose work spans every genre, from rom-coms to comedies to horror films,” an OMSI spokesperson told KOIN 6 News. “At the Empirical Theater, we try our best to curate films that showcase the wide variety of the art form, and there are few actors who do so as well as Nic Cage. He also has a passionate fan base here in Portland, and we wanted to bring his work back to the big screen for those loyal fans.”
The OMSI spokesperson told KOIN 6 that this is the museum’s first Nic Cage film series.
Ahead of the 16-day fest, OMSI said it is not aware of any plans for the actor to make an appearance at any screenings, explaining, “As far as we know, he has never visited OMSI before, and we aren’t aware of any plan for a visit from him during the film series, unfortunately.”
