The iconic actor made a riveting return to cinema by terrifying audiences as the serial killer in Longlegs. Since then, movie fans have been excited to see him taking roles again, and according to this latest announcement, he's excited too.
Here’s everything you need to know about the fascinating new film, Best Pancakes in the County, that’s got cinephiles flipping out with excitement.
What is Best Pancakes In The County about?
Best Pancakes in the County follows one lethal night, set in a small-town diner where federal agents, a dangerous con man (Nicolas Cage), and a waitress with a lot of secrets (Shelley Hennig) find themselves in the middle of a life-or-death standoff. The plotline immediately reminds me of something straight out of a Quentin Tarantino movie, where danger lurks in the most unexpected places.
