Nicolas Cage's nose steals the show in Best Pancakes In The County trailer

Before Madden touches down next month, Nicolas Cage adds another makeup-heavy project to his slate.

Nicolas Cage's nose steals the show in Best Pancakes In The County trailer

Nicolas Cage remains firmly in his prosthetic era. After giving his career another shot in the arm with Longlegs, and before he wows America with his impression of football’s greatest video game character in Madden, Cage wants audiences to know his new film Best Pancakes In The County won’t feature his natural nose and hair. The upcoming indie swims in the Quentin Tarantino-esque crime-comedy waters and stars Cage as a fast-talking, pig-nosed conman named “The SonOfABitch,” clearly doing his part to spread on the still-burgeoning post-Odyssey trend of guys wearing snouts. He’s joined by Justin Long, Shelley Hennig, Lauren German, and Ravi Patel in the film, which arrives in theaters and VOD next month, but we can hardly focus on that due to Cage’s face. 

The film revolves around an unassuming, dusty-as-hell diner in the middle of nowhere. Said to have the titular best pancakes in the county, the small-town eatery becomes the battleground for a one-night standoff with crooks, cooks, waitresses, and feds. The plot certainly sounds like Tarantino, but Cage’s prosthetic pig nose and heroic perm give us pause. Should we be taken in by another out-there Cage performance simply because he looks like a total freak in the trailer? Sure, what else do we have going on? 

Best Pancakes In The County hits theaters on November 20.
