Nicolas Cage Will Battle a Surfer Gang in Psychological Thriller THE SURFER
Nicolas Cage has landed the lead in the psychological thriller The Surfer, which comes from director Lorcan Finnegan (Vivarium, Nocebo) and screenwriter Thomas Martin. The story for the film will see Cage find himself battling a surfer gang.
In The Surfer, “when a man (Cage) returns to his beachside hometown in Australia, many years since building a life for himself in the U.S., he is humiliated in front of his teenage son by a local gang of surfers who claim strict ownership over the secluded beach of his childhood. Wounded, ‘The Surfer’ decides to remain at the beach, declaring war against those in control of the bay. But as the conflict escalates, the stakes spin wildly out of control, taking ‘The Surfer’ to the edge of his sanity.”
This sounds like it’s going to be good, and I can’t wait to see Cage in this role! This is going to be another great project for the actor and this is a character that he’s going to have fun digging into!
Executive producer Sam Hall said: “We’re incredibly excited to be working with Lorcan, Thomas, Arenamedia and Tea Shop on such a visceral and unique thriller. Nicolas Cage is the perfect actor for this iconic role and will undoubtedly deliver a tour de force performance which is sure to be something very special and will captivate audiences worldwide.”
Principal photography on The Surfer is slated to commence in September 2023 in Australia.
