Nicolas Cage-Led Joe Exotic Series Not Moving Forward at Amazon TVLine 6 hrs ago The Tiger King phenomenon may be cooling. TVLine has confirmed that Amazon is not moving forward with a scripted series starring Nicolas Cage as the infamous bleach blonde zoo owner. More from TVLine “I think Amazon ultimately felt that it was material that had become past tense because it took so long for it come together,” Cage told our sister pub Variety. “They felt at one point that it was lightning in a bottle, but that point has since faded into the distance and it’s no longer relevant.”
