Now that Nicolas Cage has already starred in the recent hits Willy’s Wonderland and Pig this year, the beloved actor will be back at it again with Prisoners of the Ghostland. The new film will be the English-language debut of acclaimed director Sion Sono, whose notable hits include the film Suicide Club. As such, there’s a lot of hype surrounding the film. Now the full official trailer has been released for the upcoming film, and the footage for Prisoners of the Ghostland proves there is indeed a reason for the hype.
As for the plot of the film which sees Nicolas Cage as a bank robber sent on a deadly mission…
“In the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town, a ruthless bank robber (Nicolas Cage) is sprung from jail by wealthy warlord The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has gone missing. The Governor offers the prisoner his freedom in exchange for retrieving the runaway. Strapped into a leather suit that will self-destruct within five days, the bandit sets off on a journey to find the young woman—and his own path to redemption.”
See the crazy full official trailer for Prisoners of the Ghostland for yourself down below – and note that Nicolas Cage has called it the wildest movie he’s ever made:
This should definitely be a step in the crazier direction for Nicolas Cage, who had a more subtle role in Pig. As such, fans of seeing Nicolas Cage enter the most bizarre scenarios possible should be excited for this upcoming film from Sion Sono. Especially considering the inclusion of Bill Moseley, star of films like The Devil’s Rejects, and Sofia Boutella. There should be a lot to look forward to with this upcoming entry.
Luckily, those anxious to see Nicolas Cage star in the upcoming film won’t have long to wait. Prisoners of the Ghostland is currently scheduled for a release by RLJE Films (the same folks who brought you Mandy and Color Out Of Space) in theaters, VOD, and Digital on September 17, 2021.
