Rogen claims that he and Cage had another meeting more recently, where the Face/Off actor asked Rogen if he had ever told friend James Franco about his character idea.
Nicolas Cage’s apparent issues with Seth Rogen don’t stem entirely from not getting the role in The Green Hornet, rather they stem from this later character description.
Cage felt that Franco may have stolen the idea as inspiration for the character he played in the movie Spring Breakers.
And this issue was on Cage’s mind very recently as this latter meeting only happened within the last year or so.
