Nicolas Cage, Justin Long, Shelley Hennig to Star in Movie "Best Pancakes In The County"

Oscar winner Nicolas Cage (Longlegs) has signed on to star in under-the-radar action-thriller "Best Pancakes In The County".

Justin Long (Barbarian) and Shelley Hennig (Unfriended, Ouija) are also attached to star in the pic.

Hailing from Ken Sanzel (Kill Chain), the film is “set over the course of one night at a small-town diner that becomes the epicenter of a deadly standoff involving rogue federal agents, a fast-talking con man with a dangerous past (Cage), and a waitress (Hennig) harboring secrets of her own. As loyalties blur and tensions erupt, survival depends on who can outthink – and outgun – everyone else. In this diner, the ‘best pancakes in the county’ turn out to be the least explosive thing on the menu.”

Producers are Raja Collins (Hunting Season), Eduard Osipov of Beno Films (The Last Resort), Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart), and Niko Fomenko and R. Wesley Sierk III of Caliwood Pictures.

Executive producers include Caliwood’s John D. Straley, Audra Gricius, Jina Panebianco, Lance Kawas, Ahmed S. Boomrod, and Eugene Pruss alongside Fortitude International’s Nadine de Barros.

The movie is financed by Beno Films and Caliwood Pictures, with its sister company Fortitude International handling worldwide sales and talking to buyers about it at the upcoming EFM in Berlin.

Principal photography is currently underway in Arkansas.
