Following a year that has seen him play a truffle forager in Pig, a version of himself in the upcoming The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and — almost — Joe Exotic in a now-shelved drama based on hit doc series Tiger King, Nicolas Cage has signed up for something completely different.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the prolific star is to play the lead in The Old Way, marking — incredibly — his first-ever Western.
The film — heading to the film market in Toronto, where Capstone is handling international sales — sees Cage play Colton Briggs, a former gunslinger who now runs a general store and lives quietly with his family. But when a gang of outlaws murders his wife in cold blood, Briggs returns home to find his world burning. He unearths his sidearm and saddles up with an unlikely partner: his 12-year-old daughter.
