Actor Nicolas Cage announced over the weekend that he is taking a step back from appearing in films to focus on other endeavours.

“I feel I’ve made a lot of movies already and I want to start exploring other opportunities… whether it’s writing or other interests,” he said, according to the BBC.

The 42-year-old mentioned an interest in developing independent film-making in the Bahamas, where he now resides.

The decision, however, doesn’t mean that Cage will be off screens anytime soon. He has around eight projects set for release over 2007-08.
