Biography[]
With countless awards thrown his way over the course of a long acting career spanning hundreds of films and billions earned, Nicolas Cage thought he had seen and done everything the world had to offer... until a script for a movie called "Descend Beyond" found itself on his desk. Nicolas was entranced by its writing, describing dark scenes of a temple, blood-inked symbols and glowing walls.
Before the night could turn to day, he was already jet-bound to the rocky island the film was using as it's set. Despite warnings from his agent of the film's questionable financers, he was enthusiastic, even offering to star for free before the agent managed to talk him out of it. After landing, he saw research tents surrounding the dirt runway bearing a logo he did not recognize, but he did not have much time to dwell on it before he was greeted by the film's director, a white-haired woman named Pauline Stamper.
She drove Cage out to set, followed closely by two black jeeps to their destination: a cave entrance, leading to the ruins of an ancient temple. It was just as Nick imagined from reading the script, altar and all, and he was ready to film immediately. Stamper told him that filming was scheduled for tomorrow, but he refused, demanding to start right then and there.
Shortly thereafter, the crew was ready, and filming commenced. He performed his dialogue right down to the letter, dipping his fingers in red ink and painting symbols onto the stone alter that laid in the middle of the chamber... and then watched as the walls began to glow, revealing more symbols. That was supposed to just be special effects added in post.... something was wrong. But he carried on the scene, reaching out and touching the walls before watching in disbelief as black fog poured out and wrapped around his arm. He turned to where Stamper and the crew had been, expecting them to be laughing at this "prank", but they were all gone. The fog soon enveloped him, and as he protested that this couldn't be real, this was just a movie! ...he was whisked away, taken to a dark realm of endless torture.
