What is your favorite scene in "The Rock." I'm going with Nicolas Cage's Stanley Goodspeed waving the green flares to stop the fighter jets from attacking Alcatraz.
Nicolas Cage, in an interview with Variety promoting his new show 'Spider-Noir,' talked about several projects, and was asked about why he never worked with Quentin Tarantino.
"I have no idea. I would consider Quentin a friend of sorts. He’s someone I occasionally email with, and we talk about movies, and I liked his book about movies and enjoyed looking at the movies through his eyes. It just never happened. I think there’s a mutual admiration. I’ve always thought he was an acrobat with filmmaking. His movies move in a way that are absolutely dazzling."
Cage continued on about Tarantino's collaboration with one of my all-time favourite movies, Michael Bay's 'The Rock.' Specifically, the line "Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."
"Yeah. But I’m the one that added, “Carla was the prom queen.” And I added, “I’m sensing a lot of prepubescent volatility, a lot of ‘16, I’m angry at my father’ syndrome.’” That’s all me. In that regard, yes — we wrote together in collaboration on dialogue."
