Saban Films has acquired North American and other overseas territory rights to The Old Way, the Western from director Brett Donowho that stars Nicolas Cage. The distributor is targeting a theatrical and VOD release for the pic sometime during the fourth quarter of 2022.

The deal marks the the second recent pickup of a Cage-toplined pic for Saban Films, which also snagged rights to the frontier epic Butcher’s Crossingwritten and directed by Gabe Polsky and starring Cage as an 1870s buffalo hunter.

Written by Carl W. Lucas, The Old Way centers on Colton Briggs (Cage), a former gunslinger who truly believed he had left his past behind. But when a gang of outlaws murder his wife, Briggs finds his world shattered and must once again take up arms in violence. But this time, he won’t be going alone. Briggs is now a father and must bring his young daughter along to hunt down the man who killed her mother by the name of McCallister; a man driven by his own demons and troubled past.

Nicolas Cage to Saddle Up for First Western ‘The Old Way’

The prolific star will don a stetson as a former gunslinger seeking revenge in the feature, heading to the Toronto film market.

Following a year that has seen him play a truffle forager in Pig, a version of himself in the upcoming The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and — almost — Joe Exotic in a now-shelved drama based on hit doc series Tiger King, Nicolas Cage has signed up for something completely different.
