Cage Joins Dafoe in Criminal Thriller ‘Dog Eat Dog’

Award winner Paul Shrader is making a new movie.  It’ll be called Dog Eat Dog.  Who is in the cast?  None other than Willem Dafoe and Nicolas Cage.

With a screenplay by Matt Wilder and Paul Schrader, Dog Eat Dog is a gritty contemporary crime thriller about a trio of ex-cons, deep in the underbelly of Los Angeles, who are hired for a kidnapping. When the botched abduction goes awry and gets completely out of control, the cons find themselves on the run, vowing to stay out of prison at all costs.

“We’re thrilled to be working with the immensely talented Willem Dafoe, who bolsters the cast and joins the list of cinema legends involved in ‘Dog Eat Dog’ like Paul Schrader and Nicolas Cage,” said Gary Hamilton, Managing Director of Arclight Films and an executive producer on the project. “The talent in front of and behind the camera in ‘Dog Eat Dog’ ensure a solid, commercially viable final product that will enthrall audiences all over the world.”

Sounds to me like a temporary break out of VOD hell for Nicolas Cage.
