Nicolas Cage has inked a deal to
join Brian Taylor’s domestic horror,
Mom and Dad as it has been reported that the project is
currently being shopped to international distributors at Berlin Film Festival,
with Taylor (Crank) eyeing a production start in the summer.
As for Cage’s involvement, he’s on board to play a human, funny and wholly
scary father, and is one of the many parents to ignite 24 hours of mass
panic after turning violent on his children. On paper Mom and Dad
shares many of the psychological and thriller tenets of the genre, Taylor’s
feature will chronicle the story of a teenage girl and her younger brother –
both yet to be cast – as they desperately try to survive the night.
In a statement released alongside Cage’s casting, director Brian Taylor
expressed his own excitement to work with the Oscar winner, who continues to
perplex as much as he amazes, with character-driven performances in Joe
to the more eccentric turns in films like The Wicker Man. “This is
the kind of role Nic was put here to play. Human, funny, scary — somehow
grounded while at the same time completely off the rails. For a filmmaker,
there is nothing quite like the experience of Nic Cage bringing a character
you’ve written to life.”
Armory Films will fire up production on Mom and Dad come
July, with a release expected in the early stages of 2017.
