Nicolas Cage To Feature In The Humanity Bureau

 

The Humanity Bureau has made room in its ranks for Nicolas Cage, now that the Dog Eat Dog star has signed on for the near-future thriller just as production gears up to begin in British Columbia later this week.
Directed by Rob King, news of the casting coup comes hand-in-hand with confirmation that Sarah Lind, Jakob Davies and Hugh Dillon have also climbed on board. Set in the not-so-distant future The Humanity Bureau takes place in a world wracked by the devastating effects of climate change.
In the fallout, part of the American Midwest slides into a crippling recession, forcing the government to found the titular agency to identify unproductive members of society and banish them to a colony known as New Eden.

It was also reveal that Nicolas Cage will head up the near-future thriller as a caseworker tasked with investigating the case of a mother and her son, who may have been sentenced to New Eden based on a lie. Although there’s not much to report beyond that enticing logline, The Humanity Bureau simply screams of political intrigue and government conspiracies, so let’s just hope the end product fulfils that potential. Dave Schultz is the brains behind the screenplay.
