The non-stop Nicolas Cage has teamed up with TAXI DRIVER scribe Paul Schrader, who here writes and directs, for the first thriller of 2015 when DYING OF THE LIGHT opens in the UK on 2nd January 2015 and we’ve got the UK exclusive Quad to share with you.
Cage takes on the role of Evan Lake, a desk-bound Langley CIA agent, forced into retirement by signs of early onset dementia. In that ‘one last job’ adage, he discovers that his former nemesis, Jihadist Muhhamed Banir (Alexander Karim), is not dead as assumed but alive and receiving experimental medical treatment. Even though this might be echoing Homeland for a few people, it still could be a decent thriller for Cage who recently found some of that historic form in THE FROZEN GROUND.
Interestingly, this is also backed by Nicolas Winding Refn as an executive producer and so there’s a positive inkling this one should definitely get you involved. There’s co-starring spots for Irene Jacob and Anton Yelchin, and it’s being put out there by Signature Entertainment, Here’s your exclusive poster:

The description above and the poster are misleading: “Dying of the Light” is no action film and there are no helicopters in the whole movie…The film is an ultra-cheap 5 mill. B-movie and looks like it. The director Paul Schrader, the actors Nicolas Cage and Anton Yelchin and the executive producer Nicolas Winding Refn all disowned the film because the producers did edit their own version against their will:
