Rather than declare bankruptcy, as he was advised, he decided he'd work his way out of it. So he started doing loads of films, with not too much quality control. And he did it, he's now debt free and says he'll ease up and be more picky now. He came across as a really nice guy
Quote:What followed his father's death and his financial ruin was a decade-long odyssey to do as many movies as possible for as much money as possible to pay his debts. Movies which sometimes had summaries that began, “John Milton escapes from hell and steals Satan's gun.” In the years since going broke, Cage appeared in 46 movies, an experience he likens to “a conveyor belt.” (By comparison, in that same time, Brad Pitt made 19, Tom Cruise, 11, and Leonardo DiCaprio, 9.)https://www.gq.com/story/nicolas-cage-ap...er-profile
