Wonderfilm Media has released the first trailer for the high-concept indie action-thriller “Primal” starring Nicolas Cage.

Cage plays a big-game hunter for zoos who has booked passage on a Hispanic shipping freighter with a fresh haul of exotic and deadly animals from the Amazon – including a rare white Jaguar.

Two days into the journey, a political assassin being extradited to the U.S in secret in the hold escapes. In the process, he releases the captive animals and throws the ship into chaos.

Famke Janssen, Kevin Durand, and Michael Imperioli also star while veteran stunt coordinator Nick Powell directs from a script by Richard Leder.

“Primal” arrives in select theaters and On Demand on November 8th.
