‘Sympathy for the Devil’ – Nicolas Cage Starring in Psychological Thriller That Sounds Like ‘The Hitcher’

We’re always excited to hear about new Nicolas Cage genre projects, and Variety reports today that Cage will star alongside Joel Kinnaman in a thriller titled Sympathy for the Devil.

Yuval Adler (Bethlehem) is directing the psychological thriller, with filming underway.

The film “follows The Driver (Kinnaman) as he finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive a mysterious man known as The Passenger (Cage).”

“That sets things up for a white-knuckle ride,” Variety adds.

Luke Paradise (Lost on a Mountain in Maine) wrote the script.

“This is a tour de force featuring two incredible actors,” said producer Allan Ungar. “As an acclaimed filmmaker, Yuval has assembled the perfect cast and brought a unique and gritty vision to this film that will be sure to capture audiences.”
