A poster has been unveiled for the psychological thriller Sympathy for the Devil, starring Nicolas Cage and coming to theatres next month
RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, has acquired the North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand distribution rights to the psychological thriller Sympathy for the Devil, and will be giving the film a theatrical release on July 28th. With that date exactly one month away, a poster for Sympathy for the Devil has arrived online, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.
Starring Nicolas Cage (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) and Joel Kinnaman (The Suicide Squad), Sympathy for the Devil was directed by Yuval Adler (The Operative) from a screenplay by Luke Paradise (Lost on a Mountain in Maine). The story follows “The Driver” (Kinnaman), who finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive a mysterious man, “The Passenger” (Cage). As their white-knuckle ride progresses, it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems.
Here’s another synopsis: After being forced to drive a mysterious passenger at gunpoint, a man finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where it becomes clear that not everything is at it seems.
Capstone Global and Hammerstone Studios produced Sympathy for the Devil alongside Cage’s company Saturn Films. Cage receives a producing credit with Allan Ungar, Stuart Manashil, David Haring, and Hammerstone’s Alex Lebovici. Capstone’s Christian Mercuri serves as an executive producer with Marc Goldberg, David Sullivan, Jason Soto, Tim Moore, Courtney Chenn, and Waylen Lin.
RLJE Films’ Chief Acquisitions Officer Mark Ward had this to say about the distribution deal: “This is our eighth collaboration with Nicolas Cage, which includes Mandy – a critically-acclaimed film that has a huge cult following. Once again, he doesn’t disappoint. In this film, Cage and Joel Kinnaman bring to life a suspenseful tale on screen that will keep audiences guessing.“
Pretty much anything Nicolas Cage makes gets a viewing from me, and Sympathy for the Devil looks like it will be a good time. So I’ll definitely be watching this one as soon as possible.
