Nicolas Cage to topline “Philly Fury” thriller

PanARMENIAN.Net - Nicolas Cage is set to star in Philly Fury, a thriller penned by Jason Mosberg that Steven C. Miller will direct, with production to begin in May, Deadline reports.

Randall Emmett and George Furla of Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films will produce, and the picture will be released in the U.S. through Lionsgate Premiere through its multi-picture distribution deal with Emmett/Furla. Highland Film Group will sell the picture internationally. This is the fourth film that Emmett/Furla and Cage have made together.

The story revolves around a Philadelphia businessman whose deadbeat brother is kidnapped for a large ransom. When everyone involved believes the deadbeat is in on the kidnapping, the businessman must take action himself. Cage plays a Philadelphia mobster and alleged kidnapper. Cage next stars in the Mario Van Peebles-directed USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage and in the Oliver Stone-directed Snowden. Miller just directed Bruce Willis in Marauders, which Emmett/Furla/Oasis produce.

Emmett/Furla is currently in post-production on the Martin Scorsese-directed Silence. The company also recently wrapped principal photography on the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Scoot McNairy starrer 478, from director Elliott Lester and producer Darren Aronofsky.
