Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have secured the rights to release “The Surfer,” a gripping psychological thriller directed by Lorcan Finnegan (known for “Vivarium” and “Nocebo”), in early 2025.

The film promises an intense narrative as Nicolas Cage portrays a man who returns to his coastal hometown in Australia after many years abroad, only to face humiliation at the hands of a local gang of surfers who dominate the secluded beach he once called home.

In “The Surfer,” Cage’s character, dubbed “The Surfer,” decides to stay and confront the surfers, igniting a volatile conflict that pushes him to the brink of sanity.

The cast includes Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander Bertrand, Justin Rosniak, Rahel Romahn, Finn Little, and Charlotte Maggi alongside Nicolas Cage.

According to Lionsgate’s Lauren Bixby, “Lorcan’s film offers a stunning visual experience with a vibrant palette, complemented by Nicolas Cage delivering his finest performance.”

Thomas Martin penned the screenplay for “The Surfer.”
