icolas is coming out of his Cage, and he’s been doing just fine.
The Academy Award-winning actor is fully leaning into absurdity with his latest slate of movies, including titles such as “Wally’s Wonderland,” in which he’s fighting amusement attractions that come to life. He’s also called the upcoming “
Prisoners of the Ghostland” the “wildest movie he’s ever made.”
At HuffPost, we beg to differ with that assessment. Wild is the exact adjective that comes to mind when thinking about the premise of
Cage’s newest film, “Primal,” which is in theaters and on demand now. In it, the actor plays a big-game hunter/animal smuggler who’s just snagged the catch of his life ― a mythical white jaguar. But then, oops, he winds up trapped on a ship with a terrorist (Kevin Durand) who’s just let all the animals loose!
The actor was excited to team up again with director Nick Powell for the movie, especially since both of them were disappointed with the way their previous collaboration, “Outcast,” was deployed and “ultimately held hostage,” he said.
In an interview with HuffPost, Cage discussed unleashing his inner jaguar for the role, his true feelings on Bigfoot and coming back in another life as an orca whale.
