The psychological thriller The Surfer, from Vivarium and Nocebo director Lorcan Finnegan, has debuted an official trailer. Nicolas Cage stars in the Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions film, with a screenplay by Thomas Martin.
Per the synopsis, when a man (Nicolas Cage) returns to his beachside hometown in Australia, many years since building a life for himself in the U.S., he is humiliated in front of his teenage son by a local gang of surfers who claim strict ownership over the secluded beach of his childhood. Wounded, he decides to remain at the beach, declaring war against those in control of the bay. As the conflict escalates, the stakes spin out of control, taking him to the edge of sanity.
Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander Bertrand, Justin Rosniak, Rahel Romahn, Finn Little and Charlotte Maggi star opposite Cage.
“Lorcan’s movie is a stunning visual experience with an incredible palette, coupled with Nicolas Cage at his absolute best,” Lionsgate’s Lauren Bixby said in a recent statement. The film had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, where it received a six minute ovation.
