Nicolas Cage set for frontier epic Butcher’s Crossing

June 27, 2021 by Gary Collinson

THR is reporting that Nicolas Cage is set to star in Butcher’s Crossing, “an epic frontier adventure” which will mark the narrative feature debut of documentary filmmaker Gabe Polsky (Red Army, Red Penguins).

According to the trade, Butcher’s Crossing follows a young Harvard dropout seeks his destiny out West by tying his fate to a team of buffalo hunters led by Miller (Cage), and together, they embark on a harrowing journey risking life and sanity.

“This is an urgent story with timeless themes — a gut-wrenching journey exploring the limits of human nature,” said Polsky, who previously worked with Cage on 2009’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, where he was an executive producer.
