In "Next," based on the Philip K. Dick story "The Golden Man," Nicolas Cage plays a man with the unique ability to see future events and affect their outcome. Relentlessly pursued by the FBI, which is seeking to use his abilities to prevent a global terrorist threat, he is ultimately faced with the daunting choice of saving the world or the woman he loves. — More here

1. Production Information
Johnson can see a few minutes into the future, an extrasensory talent that comes in handy for his job as a magician and mentalist in a seedy Vegas club where he performs nightly. It also has its uses at the blackjack tables when Cris needs some extra cash.

2. THE FUTURISTIC VISION OF SCI-FI
SET IN THE PRESENT: THE MAKING OF “NEXT'
In today’s sometimes justifiably paranoid world, where once sacrosanct edifices have been destroyed by terrorists, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine that out there, others are plotting yet another similarly unspeakable act. To avert this frightening possibility, it would be most valuable if we could see into the future, and that’s exactly the premise that attracted screenwriter Gary Goldman to Philip K. Dick’s short story, The Golden Man, a sci-fi tale which he decided to update and reset in the present day.

3. CANYONS AND CLIFF-HANGERS
SHAKING UP THE ACTION ON LOCATION
Filming began on 'Next' in spring at the Morongo Casino in Cabazon, California, which doubled for the generic Las Vegas casino where Cris gambles in the film. 'Morongo was great to us,' says producer Garner. 'They gave us a lot more freedom and access there, than if we had shot in Las Vegas.'
