Prepare yourself for this! Nicolas Cage has described Prisoners Of The Ghostland as 'the wildest movie he's ever done'. That's, frankly, terrifying.

This crime drama is a collaboration between Cage and Sion Sono, a Japanese filmmaker known for particularly outrageous genre films like Love Exposure, Shinjuko Swan, The Whispering Star and The Forest of Love.

Cage plays a bank robber named Hero. He is broken out of jail by Bill Moseley's Governor so that he can locate Sofia Boutella's Bernice.

Sono gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly where he addressed Cage's claim of the movie being wild.

There are samurais, there are ninjas, and ghosts are part of the story as well

Cage is particularly excited about the film and gleefully described his costume, which consists of leather and several grenades wired to body parts.

Prisoners of the Ghostland is billed as an East meets West vortex of beauty and violence and will premiere at Sundance on 31st January 2021.
