Home of the Week: In Malibu, modern digs fit for a movie star

If your weekend viewing includes a marathon of Nicolas Cage flicks, chances are you’ll be seeing this dramatic home in Malibu. Designed by architect Ed Niles, the glass-and-steel showplace has served as a shooting location for such movies as “Face Off” and “Gone in 60 Seconds” plus countless television shows and music videos.

Polished-chrome details and walls of curved glass give the single-story a distinctive appearance. A 50-foot helipad allows for in-and-out access to the 16-acre site a la an action-film star.
