Nicholas Cage has been set to star in horror movie Color Out of Space.
Entertainment Weekly will star in the big screen adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s novella, Color Out of Space. The feature is helmed by South African filmmaker Richard Stanley. Cage joins the previously announced Joely Richardson, Tommy Chong, Elliot Knight, Julian Hilliard, and Q’Orianka Kilcher.
The feature will be produced by SpectreVision’s Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller, Lisa Whalen and Elijah Wood.
“Lovecraft is the dark father of modern horror, and we have been searching for an adaptation that captures the true scope of his cosmic dread for years,” Noah said in a statement. “Richard Stanley — a wizard in his own right — will at long last bring Lovecraft’s humbling power to the screen unfiltered.”
“The adaptation by Richard Stanley is outstanding and unique, a perfect canvas for Nicolas Cage’s inimitable acting style. We are tremendously excited to continue our partnership with SpectreVision and their signature style of genre,” added executive producer Johnny Chang.
Color Out of Space will be Stanley’s first film since he exited The Island of Dr. Moreau in 1995.
