He may have had a disappointing year at the box-office, but Nicolas Cage is still an actor in demand. PONTYPOOL director Bruce McDonald is aiming to secure the Oscar-winning actor for his latest feature DARK HIGHWAY. The film has been scripted by Christopher Lyle and follows a man’s struggle to get to a safe location in one day, after being chased. Part of the supernatural thriller also suggests this situation may all in the mind of the central character.
After four releases in 2011, DRIVE ANGRY 3D was the one film considered a success for Cage. Run-of-the-mill thrillers TRESPASS and JUSTICE sank without trace and medieval horror SEASON OF THE WITCH didn’t fare much better. He will next be seen in GHOST RIDER sequel/reboot SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE.
