…Pancakes
IFC has just purchased the U.S. rights to the upcoming action thriller with the mouth-watering title Best Pancakes in the County. Nicolas Cage (Pig, The Rock, Willy’s Wonderland), Justin Long (Barbarian, Accepted, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story), and Shelley Hennig (Teen Wolf, The Secret Circle, When We First Met) star in the film and will order up some trouble, doused in sweet maple syrup. According to Deadline, the rights deal was done with negotiations by Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer for Independent Film Company and Eduard Osipov at Beno Films on behalf of the filmmakers. The movie will be released in theaters and also on digital platforms on November 20.
…Flapjacks.
Directed and written by Ken Sanzel (Kill Chain), Best Pancakes in the County is “set over the course of one night at a small-town diner that becomes the epicenter of a deadly standoff involving rogue federal agents, a fast-talking con man with a dangerous past (Cage), and a waitress (Hennig) harboring secrets of her own. As loyalties blur and tensions erupt, survival depends on who can outthink – and outgun – everyone else. In this diner, the ‘best pancakes in the county’ turn out to be the least explosive thing on the menu.”
Cage was in a similar thriller that took place at a diner in Sympathy for the Devil, where they really got to let him out of his…cage. Deadline has your first look at Best Pancakes in the County and it looks as if Cage will be giving his usual unhinged, but magnetic kind of performance. Check out Deadline’s exclusive picture below.
Producers include Raja Collins (Hunting Season), Eduard Osipov of Beno Films (The Last Resort), Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart), and Niko Fomenko and R. Wesley Sierk III of Caliwood Pictures. Additionally, Caliwood’s John D. Straley, Audra Gricius, Jina Panebianco, Lance Kawas, Ahmed S. Boomrod, and Eugene Pruss executive produce alongside Nadine de Barros of Fortitude International.
“We’re thrilled to reunite with the iconic Cage, guided by the visionary Ken Sanzel. This action-packed, fast-paced adventure with wit and intensity is set to captivate audiences worldwide,” said the producing team.
