Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Sofia Boutella (The Mummy), Ed Skrein (Midway), Bill Moseley (3 from Hell), Young Dais (The Outsider) and Tak Sakaguchi (Re:Born) have joined Nicolas Cage and Imogen Poots in the upcoming action horror Prisoners of the Ghostland.
Directed by Sion Sono (Love Exposure), Prisoners of the Ghostland sees Cage as Hero, a notorious criminal “who is sent to rescue an abducted girl (Poots) 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, an East-meets-West vortex of beauty and violence.”
Cage ramped up anticipation for Prisoners of the Ghostland back in December of last year when he described the project as “crazy”, “way out there” and possibly “the wildest movie I’ve ever made.”
Filming on Prisoners of the Ghostland is set to get underway in Japan this month.
