By VARIETY STAFF

Nicolas Cage is set to star in "Knowing," a thriller to be directed by Alex Proyas. Cage will play a teacher who examines the contents of a time capsule unearthed at his son's elementary school. Startling predictions in the time capsule that have already come true lead him to believe the world is going to end at the close of the week and that he and his son are somehow involved in the destruction.
