Willy’s Wonderland trailer has Nicolas Cage raging against the machines

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Move over Five Nights at Freddy's because Nicolas Cage is about to go Pompeii on your ass! Screen Media Films has unleashed a full trailer for Willy's Wonderland, and I'm not going to lie, I hooted and hollered throughout the entire thing.

In Willy's Wonderland, Nicolas Cage stars as a quiet drifter who is tricked into taking a janitorial job at the now-condemned Willy's Wonderland, but his mundane task suddenly becomes an all-out-fight for survival against wave after wave of demonic animatronics. If you're the kind of film fan who delights in the absurd this is about as wacky as it gets and I am all about it.

Previously while speaking with Entertainment Weekly, director Kevin Lewis said that WILLY'S WONDERLAND is "a fun, wacky, crazy rollercoaster ride movie. Willy’s Wonderland is like a retro-throwback to the ‘80s. I grew up with Sam Raimi and Evil Dead and those kinds of fun ‘80s horror and action horror films. This was made — and I truly mean this — this was made by a fanboy for all the fanboys and -girls. A producer friend of mine, Jeremy Davis, brought me the project, and we both fell in love with it. We worked on it, we got Nic attached, he really fell in love with the project and saw our vision of it, and we got it going. Nic’s been a fantastic partner in this movie. It’s vintage Nic. He just brings so much to this movie. I think people are going to really dig it." Lewis added that they shot the film in Atlanta at the start of the year and were able to wrap just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic put the kibosh on many major film productions. It's also possible that we haven't seen the last of demonic animatronics as Lewis teased that "if the movie gods decide it, I think there are many more adventures for Willy and his gang."

While Cage is certainly the star of this very bizarre film, he won't be fighting the forces of animatronic evil alone. Joining him for Willy's Wonderland are Terayle Hill, Beth Grant, Caylee Cowan, Chris Schmidt Jr., Emily Tosta, Grant Cramer, Jonathan Mercedes, Ric Reitz, David Sheftell, Christian Delgrosso, Chris Warner, and Taylor Towery, among several others.

Will someone please inject this movie into my veins? I need to see it. Like, right now!

Willy's Wonderland will cause all manner of havoc when it opens in select theaters, on digital, and on-demand on February 12th!
