Swords, ghosts — and an exploding body part
THESE DAYS, EVERY new Nicolas Cage film comes with a certain weight of expectation: he’s going to do something crazy! Again! Even so, Cage himself insisted — speaking at the Macao International Film Festival in 2018 — that Prisoners Of The Ghostland ups the ante. “It might be the wildest movie I’ve ever made, he explained. “And that’s saying something. I wear a skintight black leather jumpsuit with grenades attached to different body parts, and if I don’t rescue the governor’s daughter from this state line where they’re all ghosts… they’re gonna blow me up. It’s way out there.”
