Fourteen months ago, it was announced that the great Nicolas Cage would be making his Western debut with an action-packed film called The Old Way. A trailer for The Old Way has now arrived online, along with the information that the film will be receiving a theatrical release on January 6th, with a premium VOD and premium digital release to follow on January 13th. To help you decide whether or not The Old Way is going to be one of the first movies you watch in 2023, we have the trailer embedded above.
Directed by Brett Donowho (Acts of Violence) from a screenplay by Carl W. Lucas (The Wave), The Old Way has the following synopsis:
Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage stars in his first-ever Western as Colton Briggs, a cold-blooded gunslinger turned respectable family man. When an outlaw and his gang put Colton and his family in peril, Colton is forced to take up arms with an unlikely partner — his 12-year-old daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) — in this action-filled film that builds toward its fateful showdown with pulse-pounding suspense.
Cage and Armstrong (Firestarter) are joined in the cast by Noah Le Gros (A Score to Settle), Clint Howard (The Wraith), Kerry Knuppe (R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned), Nick Searcy (The Shape of Water), and Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead 2013).
Donowho produced The Old Way with Micah Haley, Robert Paschall Jr., R. Bryan Wright, and Sasha Yelaun. Lucas executive produced alongside Joshua Bunting, Colin Floom, David Haring, Christian Mercuri, Mehrdad Moayedi, and Fred Roos.
Cage already has another Western coming our way: Butcher’s Crossing, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September. A release date hasn’t been announced for that one yet.
