Nicolas Cage, Joel Kinnaman Starring in Psychological Thriller ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comBrent Lang Executive Editor Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman will star in “Sympathy for the Devil,” a new psychological thriller from director Yuval Adler.
Production on the film is underway in Las Vegas. Capstone Global is handling worldwide sales on the film, and will introduce it to buyers during the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.
Written by Luke Paradise (“Lost on a Mountain in Maine”), “Sympathy for the Devil” follows “The Driver” (Kinnaman) as he finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive a mysterious man known as “The Passenger” (Cage).
That sets things up for a white-knuckle ride. “This is a tour de force featuring two incredible actors,” said producer Allan Ungar. “As an acclaimed filmmaker, Yuval has assembled the perfect cast and brought a unique and gritty vision to this film that will be sure to capture audiences.” Adler’s debut feature “Bethlehem” won the Venice Days award at the 2013 Venice Film Festival, six Israeli Film Academy awards and was Israel’s entry for the 2014 Academy Awards.
