Cage To Direct ‘Vengeance’

After the news recently that he would be starring, Nicolas Cage is now set to also direct the upcoming independent thriller ‘Vengeance: A Love Story’ for Patriot Pictures, not Hannibal Classics as I’d previously thought.

Cage is directing from a John Mankiewicz script which is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ 2003 novel ‘Rape: A Love Story.’ The movie follows a gang rape with the victim, a single mother in her 30s, left for dead in a park boathouse. The attack was witnessed by her daughter but when the court takes a dim view of her statements, Nic Cage, Gulf War Veteran, has other ideas

Michael Mendelsohn will produce and filming begins in April in Atlanta.
