Nicolas Cage Talks The Surfer & Why He Can’t Talk About the Spider-Noir Live-Action Series
71From director Lorcan Finnegan (Vivarium), The Surfer is a volatile, sun-baked psychological thriller that allows star Nicolas Cage to absolutely let loose. Not only does Cage know how to command a wide and unexpected variety of roles, but his passion for filmmaking and cinema makes his every on-screen endeavor unforgettable.
If we've learned anything from Cage's recent roles — Dream Scenario, Longlegs, Pig — it's that we love to see his unrestrained side. In The Surfer, his unnamed character finds himself caught in the undertow of a psychological spiral when he takes his son (Finn Little) to his childhood beach in hopes of catching some waves. Instead, the two are accosted by a gang of locals who will stop at nothing to torment The Surfer and scare him off the beach.
In this interview, Cage talks with Collider's Steve Weintraub about working with co-star Julian McMahon (FBI: Most Wanted) on crafting that uncomfortable burger scene, why this script was something fresh for him, and discusses The Surfer's journey throughout the film. He also shares what he loved about working on MGM+'s upcoming live-action series, Spider-Noir.
