Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘Between Worlds’ Trailer: Nicolas Cage Battles the Supernatural

between worlds trailer

Fresh off his acclaimed work in Mandy, Nicolas Cage appears to be back on his bullshit with Between Worlds. Of course, Cage is bound to turn in a memorable performance – he always does. In the thriller, Cage plays a man trying to contact his dead wife and daughter with the help of a medium. From the look of things, it doesn’t go so well. Watch the Between Worlds trailer below.

Between Worlds Trailer 

It’s doubtful Between Worlds will generate as much great buzz as Nicolas Cage’s recent film Mandy. For one thing, early reviews for Between Worlds haven’t been great. For another, this trailer makes the movie look like one of Cage’s lesser efforts. But even if the film turns out to be subpar, I’m positive Cage will do great work. He never phones in a performance, and that’s what makes him one of the best.

In Between Worlds, Cage plays “a down-on-his-luck truck driver haunted by the memory of his deceased wife and child. He meets Julie, a spiritually gifted woman who enlists Joe in a desperate effort to find the lost soul of her comatose daughter, Billie. But the spirit of Joe’s dead wife Mary proves stronger, possessing the young woman’s body and determined to settle her unfinished business with the living.” Franka Potente plays Julie, the medium, while Penelope Mitchell is Billie.

Oh, and have you seen the Between Worlds poster yet? Take a gander at this work of art.

Between Worlds Poster

Beautiful. Even if Between Worlds ends up being terrible, I’m glad it exists, because it blessed us with this poster. Between Worlds is just one of six movies to feature Cage this year. Besides the aforementioned Mandy, the ever-busy actor appeared in Looking Glass and 211, and leant his vocal talents to Teen Titans Go! To the Movies and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

I know Cage has become a walking, talking meme for many at this point in his career, but I firmly believe he’s still a great actor. He gives every role his all, and approaches movies in ways other actors would never dream of. Can it get weird sometimes? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Ethan Hawke put it best when he said: “I’m kind of obsessed with Nic Cage. He’s the only actor since Marlon Brando that’s actually done anything new with the art of acting; he’s successfully taken us away from an obsession with naturalism into a kind of presentation style of acting that I imagine was popular with the old troubadours.”

Between Worlds opens on December 21, 2018.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
