13 Announced Movies You Won't Believe Are Real

4. Prisoners Of The Ghostland

The Pitch: Legendary Japanese director Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Cold Fish) makes his English language debut, teaming with Nicolas Cage (!) for this action-thriller about a man who must battle ghosts and break an ancient curse in order to rescue the governor’s daughter.

Will It Be Any Good?: In Cage's own words, it "might be the wildest movie [he’s] ever made", adding that it was "unlike anything [he's] ever read before."

Cage will apparently spend the movie wearing a skin-tight black leather jumpsuit with grenades attached to various body parts, and if he fails in his mission, the governor's people will blow him sky high.

That's a yes, then.

This has the potential to be the Escape from New York of its era, and with Sono directing, there's no way it won't tout a flagrantly subversive, bats*** crazy tone.

Sono and Cage together is a match made in heaven, and might even allow Cage to out-Cage his performance in last year's brilliant Mandy.
