We have some great news for fans of Nicolas Cage as his new western THE OLD WAY is being released in cinemas and on Altitude.film and other digital platforms in the UK and Ireland from 13 January.
If you ever wanted to see A-list superstar Nic Cage (FACE/OFF) as a gunslinger in the Old West, now’s the time to saddle up and watch THE OLD WAY, the CON AIR legend’s first-ever old-school western. He looks right at home in a stetson and duster jacket, strapping on a six-shooter, in this outstanding new oater about revenge, mortality and family loyalty.  Â
Cage is in fine steely-eyed form as Colton Briggs, an outlaw turned family man forced back into his sharpshooting ways and standing his ground despite being outnumbered and outgunned. The fine cast also includes cult character actor Clint Howard (EVILSPEAK), Abraham Benrubi (OPEN RANGE), Nick Searcy (THE SHAPE OF WATER), Noah Le Gros (son of James), Kerry Knuppe (HEIST), and hugely talented FIRESTARTER star Ryan Kiera Armstrong.
Directed by Brett Donowho (ACTS OF VIOLENCE), and beautifully filmed by Emmy and BAFTA-nominated cinematographer Sion Michel, the new movie is UNFORGIVEN for the 21st-century, a rip-roaring, guns-blazing must-watch for fans of the unstoppable Cage, and films like TRUE GRIT and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.
THE OLD WAY marks the first Nic Cage western of 2023 with BUTCHER’S CROSSING also starring Fred Hechinger (THE WHITE LOTUS), Xander Barkley (THE WALKING DEAD), Paul Raci (SOUND OF METAL) and Rachel Keller (A MAN CALLED OTTO) set for release later in the year.
SYNOPSIS:Â An old gunslinger and his daughter must face the consequences of his past, when the son of a man he murdered years ago arrives to take his revenge.
THE OLD WAY is released in UK & Irish cinemas and on Altitude.film and other digital platforms including Google, Apple, Sky, Amazon, Rakuten and Virgin from 13 January
