”Knowing” - First Photo and Full Synopsis
We previously wrote about Alex Proyas‘ new movie ”Knowing”.
Today we have the first photo of Nicolas Cage in ”Knowing” and full synopsis.
In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one of the students, a mysterious girl who seems to hear whispered voices, fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead.
Fast forward 50 years to the present: A new generation of students examines the contents of the time capsule and the girl’s cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Myles. But it is Caleb’s father, professor Ted Myles (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As Ted further unravels the document’s secrets, he realizes it foretells three additional events—the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve Ted and his son.

Rose Byrne joins Cage in ‘Knowing’
Rose Byrne will join Nicolas Cage in the sci-fi thriller ‘Knowing.’ The project is set to begin shooting later this month in her native Australia.
Byrne will play the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule bearing the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse.
After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the initially skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood.

Nicolas Cage in ‘Knowing’
Alex Proyas hasn’t done a film since 2004’s ‘I, Robot’. He will begin filming ‘Knowing’ in March in Melbourne, Australia. He has just signed Nicolas Cage to star in the feature, so that puts a damper on things.
In the film Cage plays a teacher who examines the contents of a time capsule unearthed at his son’s elementary school. Startling predictions in the time capsule that have already come true lead him to believe the world is going to end at the close of the week and that he and his son are somehow involved in the destruction.
Novelist Ryne Pearson pitched the film and penned the first draft before it was rewritten by Stiles White and Juliet Snowden with Proyas and Stuart Hazeldine completing the most recent draft.
