Up next from Nicolas Cage, who just delivered one of his best performance in years in the revenge-drama Pig, is a bit of a wackier movie titled Prisoners of the Ghostland, the English-language debut of Suicide Club director Sion Sono. RLJE Films will release the movie in theaters and on VOD and Digital Sept. 17, 2021, and the official trailer arrives tomorrow, August 11.
Ahead of the trailer dropping at 10am PST tomorrow, you can watch a short teaser video below, which includes some fresh sneak peeks that should hold you over for the full thing.
Here’s the latest plot synopsis…
“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.”
Cage recently described, “It’s out there. I wear a skintight black leather jumpsuit with grenades attached to different body parts, and if I don’t rescue the governor’s daughter from this state line where they’re all ghosts and bring her back they’re gonna blow me up.”
