Nicolas Cage is no unknown to bizarre roles and movies with plots battier than a campanile. Along the opencast, his upcoming film Pig appears no different. The movie casts Cage American Samoa Rob, a truffle-search chef who for the most part keeps to himself in his cosy cabin in the OR woods. One and only day atomic number 2 wakes to find his forage pig taken and it's time to kick close to ass.

Operating theater is it?

On the open, Pig sounds like a) an amusing opportunity for Cage to go perfectly off the rails and chew the scenery and b) a bray 'tween John Wick and Babe. Director Michael Sarnoski seems to embody going for an altogether gentler come nea. Having carved a life for himself in the wilderness, Cage's chef adopts a simple way of living that's interrupted by the hog theft, forcing him back to Portland where his bypast awaits him.

"I recollect all meal I ever cooked. I remember every person I ever served. You live your life for them, and they don't even see you. You don't even see yourself," he intones in the trailer. "We don't get much of things to really care about... Who has my pig?"

Animals in peril tend to atomic number 4 a tough watch for most. Flatbottom if the endanger occurs off-screen. Merely a abducted chonky ginger pig? Let's just order, getting behind Cage's lineament isn't hard in the least.

Mayhap the most exciting office of this trailer are the glimpses at a deeper, nuanced performance unlike to the highest degree Cage has delivered over the last several years. Not to say he's unskilled at "playing it straight", yet his recent credits harken back to his Lamia's Kiss days in terms of going away gonzo. Hog promises to showcase the spectacular acting chops which landed him an Academy Present back in 1996 for his turn in Going Las Vegas.

Appearing aboard John Cage in Pig are Alex Wolff (Hereditary), XTC Arkin (Halloween: H20), Gretchen Corbett (Shrill), Julia Comminute, Nina Belforte, Darius Pierce, and Elijah Ungvary.
