Nicolas Cage (Longlegs), Justin Long (Barbarian), and Shelley Hennig (“Teen Wolf”) will star in the action-thriller Best Pancakes in the County, Deadline has learned.
Currently in production in Arkansas, the film is written and directed by Ken Sanzel (Kill Chain).
It’s set over the course of one night at a small-town diner that becomes the epicenter of a deadly standoff involving rogue federal agents, a fast-talking con man (Cage) with a dangerous past, and a waitress (Hennig) harboring secrets of her own.
As loyalties blur and tensions erupt, survival depends on who can outthink – and outgun – everyone else. In this diner, the ‘best pancakes in the county’ turn out to be the least explosive thing on the menu.
Producers are Raja Collins (The Wrath of Becky), Eduard Osipov (Hunting Season) of Beno Films, Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart), and Niko Fomenko and R. Wesley Sierk III (On the Line) of Caliwood Pictures.
Executive producers include Caliwood’s John D. Straley, Audra Gricius, Jina Panebianco, Lance Kawas, Ahmed S. Boomrod, Eugene Pruss, and Fortitude International’s Nadine de Barros.
“We’re thrilled to reunite with the iconic Cage, guided by the visionary Ken Sanzel,” the producing team said in a statement. “This action-packed, fast-paced adventure with wit and intensity is set to captivate audiences worldwide.”
Fortitude International is handling worldwide sales for the film, which will have a presence at the upcoming EFM in Berlin.
