Nicolas Cage Set To Play Joe Exotic In An Upcoming Scripted Mini-Series

Way before Tiger King became a word-of-mouth phenomenon. Cage had been in talks to play the lead role. CBS TV Studios and Imagine are taking the show out to potential buyers soon.

The Texas Monthly story by Leif Reigstad details how Joe Schreibvogel built his private zoo in Oklahoma and his feuds with Jeff Lowe and Carole Baskin, both of whom are prominently featured in Tiger King. The scripted project, currently titled Joe Exotic, will center on Joe as he fights to keep his animal park even at the risk of losing his sanity. It will explore how Joe became Joe Exotic and how he lost himself to a character of his own creation. [via The Hollywood Reporter]

The hornet, which has large yellow-orange heads with distinguished eyes, has been known to kill up to 50 people a year in Japan, according to The New York Times, and could decimate the honeybee population with its ability to rip through a hive and kill a bee every 14 seconds.
