Oh, Nicolas Cage, what movie have you found yourself part of this time?
According to Deadline, Cage is set to star in the new action-thriller Parish. Concourse Media is launching world pre-sales on the project ahead of the TIFF market.
Parish is set 30 years after a nuclear apocalypse. Cage plays “a hardened survivor who has managed to stay alive with his highly trained attack dogs by following one unbreakable rule: never let anyone through the gate. That rule has kept him alive for three decades. But when a desperate woman carrying an infant appears outside his sanctuary, Parish is forced to choose between compassion and survival. His decision exposes the refuge he has spent years building and puts him in the crosshairs of a vicious band of cannibals closing in from the wasteland. With his highly equipped compound under siege and his past finally catching up with him, Parish is forced into a brutal fight to protect everything he has left.”
Writer-director Adam Sigal is behind the movie. An October 2026 production start in Minnesota is being lined up. David Tattersall will serve as cinematographer.
“There’s a scale and pedigree to Parish that immediately separates it from the pack, with all the ingredients of a real theatrical event,” said Concourse Media CEO Matthew Shreder. “Nic Cage is an incredible and fearless actor, with an extraordinary group of filmmakers around him who are all setting out to make a sophisticated survival thriller that’s a cinematic event built for a global audience.”
