Nicolas Cage reveals why Christopher Nolan won’t work with him

Nicolas Cage claims Christopher Nolan and more A-list directors won’t work with him because he’s previously turned down their projects, Page Six writes.

The actor, 62, worked with director David O. Russell for his upcoming film, “Madden” — in which he plays legendary football coach John Madden — and said Russell was the only director who’s ever reached out to work with him again after he’s said no to a previous film of theirs.

Cage claimed Nolan wouldn’t return his calls after he passed on 2002’s “Insomnia,” which starred Al Pacino and the late Robin Williams.

“Most of them, they get their feelings hurt and don’t call you back,” he said in a Q&A with the New York Times published Saturday. “It’s happened a million times to me.”

Aside from Nolan, Cage claimed Paul Thomas Anderson and Woody Allen are also directors that no longer want to work with him after he turned down their projects.
