Rating 4.2 out of 5: This is one of Nicolas Cage’s best films and the sequel only gets brighter

In 2006, Andrew Nicol turned Nicolas Cage into an arms dealer in Lord of War, giving him one of his best roles in the process, and the opening credits impressed. After 18 years, the two men would be doing it again, which surprised no one when the news broke last May.

In this feature film, which does not yet have a release date, Yuri Orlov finds himself struggling with his son (played by Bill Skarsgård), whose existence he discovers. And this while he tries to follow in his footsteps and reinforce his flaws by sending an army of mercenaries to solve America’s problems in the Middle East.

If we could fear that this was one of those projects that was announced before it went ahead, the filming of Lords of War could happen in 2024 and forty days, according to its producer Karim Debag, is currently looking for locations: “We want to cover four or five countries in Africa, like Libya, Egypt, Senegal and Mali, and a few countries in the Middle East, and we found almost everything in Morocco.”he declares variety.

“Casablanca itself is so diverse that you can find places that look like Senegal and other places as prosperous as California. And if you’re looking for places that look like Libya, Yemen or Syria, you can find them either around Marrakesh.” The producer did not give an exact date for the start of filming, but it could happen quickly.

The end of the course for Nicolas Cage?

And this could be one of Nicolas Cage’s last films. in the given interview UproxxThe actor suggests that he is considering leaving the big screen for the little one: “After doing forty-five in more than a hundred films, I feel I have almost everything I wanted to say about cinema. And I want to leave on a good note and say ‘adios!’

“I think I can do three or four more films before I get there and hopefully change the format to find another way to express myself as an actor.”He goes on to say that Bryan Cranston captured him in Breaking Bad, which his son eventually convinced him to discover. Although he specified that he may change his mind if something special comes up, such as revisiting one of his favorite roles (Ghost Rider or Castor Troy Volte/Face en tête).
