Nicolas Cage is finally getting his superhero movie. We recently reported that Nic Cage was supposed to topline the new comic adaptation for Ghost Rider, but after director Steve Norrington bowed out to take another project, the future for Ghost Rider became cloudy at best.

But don't worry, rumors indicate that Cage is set to play the lead in Hard Boiled, a comic book about a killer robot that thinks that he'a a tax collector. David Fincher is set to direct and they hope to have the movie ready for a 2003 release.
