Nicolas Cage Plays an Unhinged Buffalo Hunter in Trailer for the Western Thriller BUTCHER'S CROSSING
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Nicolas Cage’s upcoming western thriller Butcher's Crossing, and this is going to be yet another wild film project for Cage to be involved with. In this movie, he plays an unhinged buffalo hunter.
The movie is based on the novel by John Edward Williams, and it was directed by Gabe Polsky. The “epic frontier adventure, Butcher’s Crossing, is a riveting commentary on human nature, ambition, masculinity, and man’s relationship to his natural environment. Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage stars in a gritty story about buffalo hunters in the Old West. Will Andrews (Fred Hechinger) has left Harvard to find adventure. He teams up with Miller (Cage), a mysterious frontiersman offering an unprecedented number of buffalo pelts in a secluded valley. Their crew must survive an arduous journey where the harsh elements will test everyone’s resolve, leaving their sanity on a knife's edge.”
The story is set in the 1870s, and it’s said to "dismantle the myths of modern America." This looks like a great movie that tells a harrowing story of surviving in the wilderness with a guy that is going mad.
The movie also stars Xander Berkeley, Rachel Keller, Jeremy Bobb, and Paul Raci. Sony will release Butcher's Crossing in theaters on October 20th, 2023.
