In the upcoming Left Behind Nicholas Cage is set to face his greatest foe yet; the apocalypse.
This week saw the release of the first official trailer for a reboot of Left Behind, a film based on the popular book series. The original film, and its sequel, were made by lesser known companies and never quite took off at the box office. Now with Nicolas Cage in a leading role who knows where the tale of the end times will go.
If you’re unfamiliar with the plot of the books they are a series that began in 1995. They tell the story of the end times based on the biblical book of revelation and modern Christian eschatological beliefs. The first book and movie primarily deal with the immediate consequences and issues that follow the rapture, the sudden disappearance of Christians worldwide, and sees Rayford and others simply trying to survive and find answers.
Cage’s career has certainly been interesting to watch over the past few years and that trend probably won’t change with Left Behind. With a cast that also includes Chad Michael Murray, Jordin Sparks, and Lea Thompson the movie will at least be entertaining; even if it’s not in the way the studio wanted.
Whether the world is ready or not the end is coming October 3rd, Nicholas Cage help us all.
