‘Longlegs’ Teaser Provides a Glimpse of Nicolas Cage’s Unrecognizable Transformation

NEON has once again intrigued audiences with a cryptic teaser video for the upcoming film “Longlegs,” offering a glimpse of Kiernan Shipka and a closer look at Nicolas Cage’s transformative performance as the villain.

Scheduled for release in theaters on July 12, “Longlegs” has been generating significant buzz, earning praise from early viewers.

The new teaser provides audiences with an enticing preview of Cage’s character.

Directed by Osgood Perkins, known for “The Blackcoat’s Daughter” and “Gretel & Hansel,” “Longlegs” stars Cage alongside Maika Monroe, who portrays an FBI agent tasked with apprehending a notorious serial killer.

Described as a homage to classic Hollywood psychological thrillers, “Longlegs” has drawn comparisons to the iconic ’90s film “The Silence of the Lambs.”

In “Longlegs,” FBI Agent Lee Harker, played by Monroe, delves into the case of a elusive serial killer portrayed by Cage. As the investigation unfolds, revealing occult elements, Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer, prompting a race against time to prevent further tragedy.

Alicia Witt (“The Walking Dead”) and Blair Underwood (“American Crime Story”) also feature in the cast.

The film has been rated “R” for its depiction of bloody violence, disturbing imagery, and some language.

I don’t ever want to forget him.
