Nicolas Cage says he is living in hotels after sinkhole damages Malibu home
Nicolas Cage told attendees at the Los Angeles Comic Con on Halloween that he is staying in hotels because a sinkhole damaged his Malibu residence.
Sinkhole details and evacuation orders
A crater measuring 25 feet deep and 30 by 60 feet opened near the driveway on September 8. The event forced officials to evacuate 31 nearby homes including the actor's mansion. Officials have not yet determined exactly how the sinkhole formed.
Hurricane Marie connection
Reports suggest the unusual storm likely caused the ground collapse through strong winds and heavy rain. Hurricane Marie battered California in early September before bringing large waves to oceanfront properties. The tropical storm brought significant flooding that affected some homes in Southern California.
Cage Halloween plans
The actor shared alternative plans for the holiday while staying away from his property. He intends to take his daughter trick-or-treating in Santa Monica before watching a specific film. Cage mentioned he will watch a movie directed by someone nominated for worst director at the Razzies.
