Nicolas Cage Is the Passenger from Hell in Sympathy for the Devil Trailer

RLJE Films has released the official trailer for Sympathy for the Devil. Featuring Nicolas Cage in one of his craziest roles yet, the film features the Renfield star as raving maniac who forces a soon-to-be father (Joel Kinnaman, The Suicide Squad) at gunpoint to take him on a drive. It’s clear that for as long as this forced ride goes on, things get worse and worse, and it doesn’t appear that things are going to end very well. The film hits theaters and On Demand outlets on July 28, 2023, and you can check out the new trailer below.

In the film, Kinnaman plays David, a soon-to-be father on his way to the hospital with his wife in labor. Unfortunately, a mysterious man played by Cage forces his way in, and holding David at gunpoint, he orders him to start driving. Their trip includes a stop at a small-town diner where the mysterious individual, who seems like he very well could be the devil himself, forces David to play a high-stakes game. David must answer questions correctly, otherwise, his captor will execute everyone in the diner.
