[Trailer] Chainsaw-wielding Nicolas Cage Fights Off Hellish Forces of Evil in Visually Stunning ‘Mandy’
If you’ve seen Panos Cosmatos’ Beyond the Black Rainbow, then you know exactly what to expect in the first trailer for his action-thriller Mandy, which flaunts a scene with a chainsaw-wielding Nicolas Cage!
“Set in 1983, Cage plays Red Miller, a broken and haunted man, who hunts the unhinged religious sect who slaughtered the love of his life.”
The trailer goes full-Cage, with the actor digging deep into his arsenal of rage performances. This time, he confronts a cult who has kidnapped his Mandy. The footage is bleak, dark, hellish even, and promises a bloody descent into madness. Man, I’ve got to see this as soon as possible. Too bad we’ll be waiting for its release until September 14th.
Our own Fred Topel raved that “Cage wreaks bloody vengeance in the nightmarish Mandy.”
Andrea Riseborough and Linus Roache also star in the film, with Ned Dennehy, Olwen Fouéré, Richard Brake, Bill Duke and Sam Louwyk rounding out the cast for the project.
“Tell Me Lies” actor Sonia Mena is joining the recently announced Chase Yi on Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
Plot and character details remain tightly guarded at this stage, but the original Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
It followed a couple terrorized by a strange presence shortly after moving into their suburban home.
While we wait for further news on plot or whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
That brings this project full circle for Tuason, as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
While we wait to learn more, a Paranormal Activity stage play arrives this summer.
