‘The Retirement Plan’ Trailer – Nicolas Cage Is a Beach Bum John Wick in Rated “R” Action-Comedy
Nicolas Cage is kicking ass and taking names on the beach in his next movie. It’s titled The Retirement Plan, and the bloody action-comedy just debuted its official trailer today.
The film hits theaters in the United States on August 25, 2023.
In The Retirement Plan, when Ashley (Ashley Greene) and her young daughter Sarah (Thalia Campbell) get caught up in a criminal enterprise that puts their lives at risk, she turns to the only person who can help – her estranged father Matt (Nicolas Cage), currently living the life of a retired beach bum in the Cayman Islands.
Their reunion is fleeting as they are soon tracked down on the island by crime boss Donnie (Jackie Earle Haley) and his lieutenant Bobo (Ron Perlman). As Ashley, Sarah and Matt become entangled in an increasingly dangerous web, Ashley quickly learns her father had a secret past that she knew nothing about and that there is more to her father than meets the eye.
The cast also includes Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) and Joel David Moore (Hatchet)!
Written and directed by Tim J. Brown, The Retirement Plan is presented by Joker Films, Darius Films, and Productivity Media. Check out the official trailer down below.
The film is rated “R” for “violence and pervasive language.”
Nicolas Cage is also headed to the beach in the upcoming action-thriller The Surfer. That film is a psychological thriller, wherein Cage battles a surfer gang on the beach. Yes. Please.
After two movies and two seasons of a TV series, Outback murderer Mick Taylor will return in Wolf Creek: Legacy, recently announced as both the third installment and something of a reboot of Greg McLean’s horror franchise. But have no fear, John Jarratt is back as Mick Taylor.
What can we expect from Wolf Creek: Legacy? Speaking with David Clair-Bennett for his YouTube channel this week, John Jarratt teased a tone more in line with the original Wolf Creek.
“It’s dark and creepy again,” Jarratt teases. “It’s more like the first one. With the second one, we had a bit of fun. Cracked a few jokes. For this one, the dark creepy thing is the ultimate when it comes to playing Mick. Just creeping up and being scary.”
Jarratt adds, speaking about Mick Taylor, “He never runs, never yells, never dies.”
The actor notes in the same chat that the team is hoping to begin production sometime early next year (February-March), with a potential release around the holiday season in 2025.
Sean Lahiff will be directing Wolf Creek: Legacy.
Here’s the plot: “This time around it’s a family of American tourists who wander innocently into Taylor’s hunting grounds. When the parents sacrifice themselves to save their children, the kids find themselves alone, lost and hunted in the vast Australian wilderness. Will this fresh prey – two wily, resourceful Zoomers – prove harder for the ageing predator to consume?”
The cast will also include Jay Ryan (It Chapter Two).
Greg McLean said in a recent statement, “I’ve always believed in the power of fresh perspectives, and that’s why I’m thrilled to introduce Sean Lahiff as the director of Wolf Creek Legacy. Sean isn’t just stepping into this world; he’s been a part of it for years. This new chapter in the Wolf Creek saga is something I’m incredibly excited about: it’s a bold new story that honors the roots of the franchise while pushing it into new, uncharted territory.”
Director Sean Lahiff added, “I aim to deliver the horror and suspense that fans of the Wolf Creek franchise and wider genre theatre goers expect but to add a new depth to the story. We’re exploring the psychological terror of being hunted, the fear and resilience of these young characters, and the nightmarish quality of the Outback itself. This is a story that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats, but it will also tap into something deeper – the primal fears that dark fairytales have always played on.”
