Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage spoke about their experiences filming Outcast in China during the press conference for the film in Beijing.
Nicolas Cage - Very impressed with the people and the culture of the people. "I meant it when I said I love your food." The presence of the premiere state of the art studio China is building makes him want to have a base in Hong Kong so he can work more in Chinese films.
Question: What is it like working with Liu Yifei and Nicolas Cage?
Hayden - "Both are a pleasure. To get to work with Mr. Nicolas Cage has been a great honor for me. He's a legend and icon and one of my personal favorite actors so it's been a real treat."
"Getting to work with Ci Ci [Liu Yifei] has been incredible. She has amazing poise and just has a real presence on camera and gives a lot as an actor. So she's very generous. It's great."Nicolas Cage talks about Hayden during Outcast Press Conference.

Audience Question - This is your first time shooting a cooperation film in China. What kind of expectations do you have for Outcast?
Nicolas Cage - "Well I try not to have too many expectations. What's most important to me in my criteria is do I like the people I'm working with and do I like where I am. Those are the two main requirements."
"So having seen Hayden...his....what I respond to....his very kind of edgy and dark superb work with George Lucas, who's a very dear friend of my family, I wanted to work with Hayden. I wanted to support Hayden."
"But also as you know I have a very good relationship with China so the idea of working with Hayden in China and also to get to work with all of your actors here...your actors from China was a new experience for me that I was extremely looking forward to. And so I'm happy to say that it's been an outstanding Outcast experience."

Hayden Christensen most at home on his farm but ready for a "Return Engagement".
Yes, we've been missing him and we were always happy when he would suddenly appear out of nowhere for a brief sighting here and there. Now Hayden says he is back from a three year break and looking forward to making more movies and being a part of the creative process as well.
He didn't waste any time. Back in April it was announced that he would be filming American Heist as part of his new production company Glacier films with brand new partners from Russia and his brother Tove. In May he was at Cannes taking care of Glacier Films business with his partners. Not long after filming on American Heist started in July, it was announced that he would be producing Cooties a film starring Elijah Wood which is now in post-production. Filming recently began on another project in China. Outcast is currently filming with fellow cast members Nicolas Cage and Liu Yifei on location in Yunnan Province.
