Earlier this month, we found out Nicolas Cage dropped out of Michel Gondry's upcoming action adventure "The Green Hornet," but back then, it was not really clear why so. The only thing we knew was that Cage failed to reach a proper deal with Columbia. There was more to it though, and Cage now revealed what happened.

Nicolas Cage is in early negotiatons to play the bad guy in Columbia's upcoming "The Green Hornet," which Michel Gondry will direct.

The film follows the adventures of Britt Reid, who inherits his dad's newspaper and fights crime as a masked hero at night. Seth Rogen plays the lead character, and Cameron Diaz is in talks to play his love interest.

The studio is also looking for someone to play Reid's sidekick Kato. Stephen Chow was originally set for the role, but he dropped out recently.

I don't know about you, but I think Rogen going after Cage could actually be funny. Give Cage one of those terrible wigs and he's all set to play a convincing villain.

Evan Goldberg and Rogen penned the script for the flick, which is set for release next year. Cage's upcoming credits include "Kick-Ass," "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
