Nicolas Cage Talks First Western, The Old Way, Face/Off 2 & Renfield
83From director Brett Donowho, The Old Way stars Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage as Colton Briggs, a gunslinger who hung up his hat and traded his life of bloodshed for love and family. When the consequences of Colton’s past catch up with him, costing him his wife, nothing will stand between the retired killer and his vengeance.
Cage’s very first Western, which sees him as a John Wick of the West, lends the classic tale of revenge a fascinating layer with Briggs’ daughter Brooke, played by up-and-coming talent Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Firestarter). Cage describes the two as “social misfits” with a “propensity towards violence” who work together to blend into society before teaming up to reap retribution from their matriarch’s killers.
With the movie now in theaters, Collider’s Editor-in-Chief, Steve Weintraub, had the opportunity to speak with Cage about the film, and his other upcoming projects. In his interview, Cage breaks down what it was about The Old Way that drew him to the first Western in his 45 years of acting, from scenes with Armstrong to the heart of the story. He also shares what the Face/Off sequel would be about if they get to make it (please make this happen), discusses the inspiration behind his take on Renfield’s Dracula, and gives a few recommendations from his filmography for fans old and new.
