Nicolas Cage and Paul Schrader Replace Harrison Ford and Nicolas Winding Refn for 'The Dying of the Light'

Nicolas Cage Director Paul Schrader is preparing for the theatrical and VOD release of his low-budget indie film The Canyons this weekend ? yeah, the movie with Lindsay Lohan. The filmmaker apparently likes the challenge of working with ?out there? actors, so naturally his next film will star Nicolas Cage. In Cage?s defense, there?s no way he could possibly be anywhere near as difficult as Lohan?

IndieWire spoke with Schrader last month and he revealed that his next project was a feature titled The Dying of the Light. Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn was originally linked to the project, but now Schrader will direct with Refn producing. At the time, Schrader hinted that he had an A-list actor on the line for the part ? so when he revealed recently that Nic Cage was going to star in his next production?.well, you don?t have to be Sherlock Holmes to connect the dots.

The film, based on a Schrader script, focuses on a CIA agent who loses his vision while working on a mission. Refn?s version was supposed to involve Harrison Ford, but now Ford is out and it appears as though Cage is in. This could be a good role for the mercurial actor, but I?d be more interested if Ford were still involved, honestly.

According to earlier Schrader comments, The Dying of the Light should start filming sometimes this winter.

Oil slips below $104 ahead of Fed, jobs data

The Associated Press

LONDON (AP) -- The price of oil fell below $104 a barrel on Tuesday as traders awaited comments from central banks as well as data releases later in the week, including U.S. jobs figures.

Benchmark oil for September delivery was down 64 cents to $103.91 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 15 cents to close at $104.55 on Tuesday. Brent crude, the benchmark for international crudes, fell 19 cents to $107.26 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

Losses were kept in check as traders waited for the Federal Reserve to give its latest appraisal of the U.S. economy and whether a change to the central bank's stimulus strategy is warranted. Fed officials are meeting Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington.

The Fed has been buying $85 billion of financial assets a month in an attempt to keep long-term borrowing rates low and help shore up the U.S. economic recovery. However, the Fed is widely expected to wind down the program later this year if the economy improves.

Oil prices have gotten a boost from the low interest rates, which have made commodities like oil more attractive as investments.

On Friday, the release of employment data for July will be examined for hints about future energy demand in the world's No. 1 economy.

"We'll look to position ourselves for Friday's number and get a better gauge on how fast demand is growing and going," Carl Larry of Oil Outlooks and Opinions said in a commentary. "I think that demand is definitely more correlated to the number of people working, which in turn leads to a lot more drivers."

Traders are also looking to see whether the Energy Department will report another draw in oil supplies after a surprisingly large drop of 30 million barrels over the past month.

Oil supplies remain high compared with the five-year average, even after the monthlong reduction, so most traders say it is more likely that oil prices will soon fall than rise.

In other trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange:

-- Wholesale gasoline rose 0.2 cents to $2.9797 a gallon.

-- Heating oil fell 0.4 cent to $3.0125 a gallon.

-- Natural gas fell 3 cents to $3.4420 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Ruling coalition endorses new state in south India

NEW DELHI (AP) India's ruling coalition on Tuesday endorsed the creation of a new state in southern India, a government official said.

The United Progressive Alliance coalition unanimously agreed to endorse the formation of a new state called Telangana to be carved out of Andhra Pradesh state, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh told reporters.

Later, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Congress Party decided to approve the creation of the state.

The large size of some of India's 28 states makes them difficult to administer and has prompted movements to divide them. Telangana would become India's 29th state.

Telangana supporters say the drought-prone northern area is underdeveloped and ignored by powerful politicians from southern Andhra Pradesh. Residents of the 10 districts that form Telangana say they are discriminated against in the allocation of state funds, water and jobs.

The decision is likely to be opposed by the rest of Andhra Pradesh, primarily because the proposed Telangana area would include the state capital and industrial hub, Hyderabad.

The demand for a separate state of Telangana has erupted sporadically since the 1950s, with hunger strikes and violent protests claiming about 1,000 lives over the past decade. Several protesters self-immolated to press for the creation of the state.

The protests gained strength in 2009 when veteran politician K. Chandrasekhara Rao began a hunger strike. After 11 days, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government agreed to split the state.

The government then delayed a decision while sporadic protests, both for and against the new state, gripped Andhra Pradesh.

Critics of the decision to carve out the state said the move would spur other demands for creating states.

Several parts of India the Bundelkhand region in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha in western Maharashtra state and Gorkhaland in the eastern West Bengal state face similar statehood movements, but the government has not made any moves to create states there.
