Cage cancels screening after dad's death

WENN

Nicolas Cage has apparently dropped out of a public appearance at a screening because of the recent death of his father.

August Coppola, a retired college dean and brother of Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, died from a heart attack last week, aged 75.

The actor attended his father's funeral in California on Thursday and was scheduled to attend the screening of his latest film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans a few days later.

Co-stars Val Kilmer and Eva Mendes are still believed to be walking the red carpet at the event.
