“Knowing” caught Nicolas Cage’s attention to star in the thriller directed by Alex Proyas. Production starts on St. Patrick’s Day, 2008 in Melbourne. (Cage, you’ll love the fruits and vegetables! They taste awesome in Australia.)

According to Variety.com, Cage will play 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.
