Don’t mess with Nicolas Cage when he’s dressed to the nines…or the 100s.

“I dressed up for this. I wanted to be 100 percent sex tonight and you cut that in half. I’m now 50 percent sex!” Cage’s character “The Passenger” complains in the trailer for his new movie Sympathy for the Devil, coming to theaters July 28th.

The tagline for the thriller, directed by Yuval Adler (Bethlehem), seems simple enough. “After being forced to drive a mysterious passenger (Nicolas Cage) at gunpoint, David (Joel Kinnaman, Suicide Squad) finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems.”

Cage plays the character, who may or may not be the titular Devil, in his usual over-the-top style. He leads David to a diner, where he wants to play “a little game” – he demands David answer his questions truthfully (here, he winks extravagantly), or he’s going to shoot the restaurant patrons.

“People always say, ‘Don’t assume the worst,'” says Cage’s character. “Sometimes the worst is exactly what you should assume.”

The film will be the fourth of five projects Cage is releasing this year, following The Old Way, Renfield, and a cameo in (SPOILER ALERT!) The Flash. Later in the year he’ll star in The Retirement Plan.

The Killing star Kinnaman has most recently been working with John Woo on Silent Night, an action film without spoken dialogue, Woo’s first American feature in twenty years.

Luke Paradise (Lost on a Mountain in Maine) wrote the script for the movie, which is from RLJE Films.
