Nicolas Cage Calls This Movie ‘the Wildest’ He’s Ever Made

The first full trailer for the brand new Nicolas Cage film Prisoners of the Ghostland is right here and it includes a daring proclamation from the star himself. In the trailer, Cage is quoted as saying Ghostland is “The wildest movie I’ve ever made.” Which, coming from somebody with a resume like Cage, is saying one thing. But contemplating it’s a movie a few felony pressured to put on a bomb swimsuit and go right into a wasteland to rescue the granddaughter of a criminal offense boss from a bunch of mysterious nomad ghost folks—sure, it’s fairly wild.

Directed by Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Cold Fish, Tokyo Tribe), Prisoners of the Ghostland shall be launched in theaters and on VOD September 17. It co-stars Bill Moseley and Sofia Boutella, and right here’s the trailer.

So the trailer just about says all of it, however right here’s what you simply watched. The film is about in a spot referred to as Samurai Town, the place Cage is a financial institution robber imprisoned after a job goes horribly flawed. However, when the granddaughter (Boutella) of the city’s warlord (Moseley) goes lacking, the warlord affords the robber a deal. Put on this explosive swimsuit and head into the wastelands and retrieve her, or else. He does, after all, and what he finds is under no circumstances what anybody is anticipating.

Prisoners of the Ghostland debuted at this 12 months’s digital Sundance Film Festival earlier than being picked up by RLJE Films. We watched it and, frankly, discovered the wildness to be a bit an excessive amount of. The film simply form of by no means comes collectively and feels massively disjointed. At least that was my opinion. You can learn the total evaluation right here. But, as you’ll be able to see within the trailer, loads of individuals who aren’t the celebrities of the film loved it fairly a bit. Lots of critics from different websites heaped reward on the distinctive movie and hey, I’d moderately watch one thing that takes an enormous danger like Prisoners of the Ghostland than one other remake of a film that wasn’t good within the first place, or a franchise reboot prequel that by no means will get off the bottom. So even simply in that facet, it’s fairly darn wild.

Again, the movie opens in theaters and on VOD September 17.
