Jessica Biel to star with Nic Cage in sci fi thriller

Hollywood superstar Nicolas Cage's new science-fiction thriller 'Next' has reportedly entered the production phase after months of negotiations and is set to hit cinemas in 2007. The film will be directed by Lee Tamahori and boasts an impressive cast, including Cage in the lead role as well as actresses Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel. The plot focuses on a man (Cage) who realises that he has the ability to see into the future and is therefore able to affect the outcome of certain events. Soon he finds himself pursued by the FBI who are determined to use his abilities in order to prevent terrorist attacks and he is torn between saving the world or saving the woman he loves. The script was adapted by Gary Goldman from the Philip K. Dick story 'The Golden Man'. [Virgin]
