Director Sion Sono (Tag, Why Don’t You Play in Hell?, Love Exposure), “the most subversive filmmaker working in Japanese cinema today,” will be making his English-language debut with Prisoners of the Ghostland, an upcoming post-apocalyptic action thriller starring Nicolas Cage (Outcast, Rage, Face/Off).

When a notorious criminal, Hero (Cage), is sent to rescue an abducted girl who has disappeared into a dark supernatural universe, they must break the evil curse that binds them and escape the mysterious revenants that rule the Ghostland (via Cinando).

The film, which will be distributed by XYZ Films (The Raid, On the Job, Jailbreak), will also star Sofia Boutella (Atomic Blonde, The Mummy), Ed Skrein (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil), Tak Sakaguchi (Re:Born) and Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects).
