We’ve seen Nicolas Cage do practically something and every thing all through his profession in films, however we’ve by no means actually seen the actor tackle a standard Western. That’s about to vary. For one, Cage seems in one among his first at TIFF this 12 months, in filmmaker Gabe Polsky’s “Butcher’s Crossing” (learn our overview). And whereas we watch for distribution on that movie, one other Western that Cage shot, “The Old Way,” has taken the pole place to earn the bragging rights of “Nicolas Cage’s first-ever Western.”
Directed by Brett Donowho and written by Carl W. Lucas, “The Old Way” co-stars Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Noah Le Gros, Clint Howard, Kerry Knuppe with Nick Searcy, and Shiloh Fernandez.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage stars in his first-ever Western as Colton Briggs, a cold-blooded gunslinger turned respectable household man. When an outlaw and his gang put Colton and his household in peril, Colton is pressured to take up arms with an unlikely accomplice — his 12-year-old daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) — on this action-filled movie that builds towards its fateful showdown with pulse-pounding suspense.
“The Old Way” opens in theaters on January 6, 2023, vis Saban Film and hits on Premium Video on Demand and Premium Digital on January 13, 2023.
