As of late Nicolas Cage has been on the upswing with some great flicks including PIG, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and most recently Longlegs. His latest film The Surfer, teams him up with Vivarium director Lorcan Finnegan and co-stars Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander Bertrand, and Justin Rosniak.

 

The Surfer follows a man who returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son.  But his desire to hit the waves is thwarted by a group of locals whose mantra is “don’t live here, don’t surf here.”  Humiliated and angry, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising in concert with the punishing heat of the summer and pushes him to his breaking point. 

 

While you will have to wait until May 2nd to see the film in theaters, you can check out the poster and trailer here now from Lionsgate and Roadshow Attractions.
