‘Sympathy For The Devil’ Trailer: Nicolas Cage Is The Devil Terrorizing Joel Kinnaman In New Thriller

If Nicolas Cage as Dracula wasn’t enough pure, unchained evil for you, then how Cage as the Devil himself? I mean, he’s even got the red hair to show for it. Sympathy for the Devil finds Cage terrorizing Joel Kinnaman in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when you’re going up against the embodiment of evil, can you ever really win such a game?

Here’s the 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.

The film is directed by Yuval Adler, who previously worked with Kinnaman on The Secrets We Keep. The script is by Luke Paradise. That’s a Hollywood name if I ever heard one.

“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.”

This looks kinda fun? I mean terrible and fun, which is right in the Cage sweet spot.

Sympathy for the Devil opens on July 28th.
