Nicolas Cage is set to star in “Beyond the Black Rainbow” helmer Panos Cosmatos’ new action thriller “Mandy” for SpectreVision, XYZ Films and Umedia.

The story is set in the primal wilderness of 1983 where Red Miller, a broken and haunted man hunts an unhinged religious sect who slaughtered the love of his life. The project is said to be a “surrealist, heavy-metal-soaked story of battle axes and demon bikers”.

Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller, Elijah Wood, Nate Bolotin and Adrian Politowski are producing with filming to kick off this summer in Belgium. “Sicario” composer Johann Johannsson will do the score.
