Fresh off his acclaimed work inMandy,Nicolas Cageappears to be back on his bullshit withBetween Worlds. Of course, Cage is bound to turn in a memorable performance – he always does. In the thriller, Cage plays a man trying to contact his dead wife and daughter with the help of a medium. From the look of things, it doesn’t go so well. Watch theBetween Worldstrailer below.
Between Worlds Trailer
It’s doubtfulBetween Worldswill generate as much great buzz as Nicolas Cage’s recent filmMandy. For one thing, early reviews forBetween Worldshaven’t been great. For another, this trailer makes the movie look like one of Cage’s lesser efforts. But even if the film turns out to be subpar, I’m positive Cage will do great work. He never phones in a performance, and that’s what makes him one of the best.
InBetween Worlds, Cage plays “a down-on-his-luck truck driver haunted by the memory of his deceased wife and child. He meets Julie, a spiritually gifted woman who enlists Joe in a desperate effort to find the lost soul of her comatose daughter, Billie. But the spirit of Joe’s dead wife Mary proves stronger, possessing the young woman’s body and determined to settle her unfinished business with the living.“Franka Potenteplays Julie, the medium, whilePenelope Mitchellis Billie.
Between Worldsis just one ofsixmovies to feature Cage this year. Besides the aforementionedMandy, the ever-busy actor appeared inLooking Glassand211, and leant his vocal talents toTeen Titans Go! To the MoviesandSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
I know Cage has become a walking, talking meme for many at this point in his career, but I firmly believe he’s still a great actor. He gives every role his all, and approaches movies in ways other actors would never dream of. Can it get weird sometimes? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Ethan Hawke put it best when hesaid: “I’m kind of obsessed with Nic Cage. He’s the only actor since Marlon Brando that’s actually done anything new with the art of acting; he’s successfully taken us away from an obsession with naturalism into a kind of presentation style of acting that I imagine was popular with the old troubadours.”
