60 years, 120 films and 1 Oscar: will this iconic action star return to the screen soon?

After a long journey in the wilderness, Nicolas Cage has found strength in recent years with Pig, A Talent in Solid Gold, Renfield and the recent Dream Scenario. An Oscar winner for 1996’s Going to Las Vegas, the 60-year-old actor is enjoying a remarkable artistic renaissance.

Will Nicolas Cage continue this momentum? We are watching the future projects of the actor. After an excellent performance in Dream Script, which was released last December, the artist will return to the cinema on July 10 in the horror thriller Longlegs, directed by Oz Perkins.

Machiavelli serial killer

This time Nicolas Cage will not play a handsome professor with glasses, but a dangerous serial killer. The latter will be pursued by Lee Harker, an FBI agent played by Micah Monroe, the revelation of It Follows.

“Oz Perkins is pretty strong in the horror genre at the moment. He’s made some really good movies. Gretel and Hansel were great. I play a character who hears voices. It’s a bit like a possessed Geppetto making dolls.”Nicolas Cage pointed to the microphone Fangoria.

Then we find the actor on paper in another very interesting project: The Surfer. Already shot, this project is currently in post-production. Directed by Lorcan Finnegan, who credits Vivarium and Nocebo Effect, the film is a thriller that reunites Nicolas Cage and Julian McMahon.

Surfers will be expensive

The story follows a man who returns to his seaside hometown in Australia. He is humiliated in front of his son by a gang of local surfers who claim absolute ownership of his childhood beach. Wounded, he decides to stay on the beach and declare war on those who control the bay.

Finally, the third project is in the hands of our friend Nicolas Cage, and not so insignificant: Lords of War. In 2006, Andrew Nicoll cast the actor as an arms dealer in Lord of War, giving him one of his best roles in the process.

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.

Warlord

He is trying to follow in his footsteps 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 movie Lords of War could be filmed in 2024 and within forty days, according to its producer Karim Debbagh, 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.”she said variety Last December.

“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.

Moreover, Benjamin Gates fans are still waiting for part 3, which seems to be not on the agenda at all. Nicolas Cage still thinks about it, though. “I really like these movies, they’re fun and I think John Turteltaub Here are some classics for the whole family.– he told Deadline.

“It still amazes me a little bit that Disney didn’t want to make a third one. I thought the films brought a lot of joy to the audience and were interesting from a historical perspective. I think it was worth making it all.”– clarified Nicolas Cage.
