Straight out of the Cannes Film Festival has come a first look photo (the one featured above) of the legendary Nicolas Cage in writer/director Maria Pulera's upcoming mysterious thriller BETWEEN WORLDS.
With a tattooed, scruffy Cage wearing a shark tooth necklace in the lead role, this one already looks like a winner to me.
Cage's co-stars in the film include Franka Potente, Penelope Mitchell, Hopper Penn, and Lydia Hearst.
Pulera crafted the following story:
At a way station on a lonely highway, a man obsessed with the death of his wife and daughter meets Julie (Potente), a spiritually gifted woman who enlists him in a desperate attempt to recover the lost soul of her comatose daughter, Billie (Mitchell). Billie suddenly awakens in Joe’s presence, but she’s not herself — her body has been taken over by another soul: Joe’s dead wife, who has returned to settle her unfinished business with the living.
The writer/director also produced the film with David Hillary and Eric Banoun.
Voltage Pictures is currently presenting BETWEEN WORLDS to potential international distributors in Cannes, so hopefully we'll be hearing some release news on this one soon.
