The Old Way - What We Know So Far

"The Old Way" has yet to go into production, so an exact release date has yet to be announced. First, production company Capstone Pictures is taking the package it has assembled to the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival in the hopes of finding a partner to buy and help distribute the film. If it finds a buyer there, we may have more information soon.

If "The Old Way" hopes to remain Cage's first-ever Western, it will need to come out soon. Cage's schedule, busy as ever, currently has him set to make his second Western, "Butcher's Crossing," immediately after "The Old Way," filming both projects back-to-back in Montana. "Butcher's Crossing," based on a novel by John Williams (not that one), will see Cage play an experienced buffalo hunter who takes a young Harvard dropout under his wing and guides him through the adventures of the hunt and his encounters with the untamed wilderness. But is the untamed wilderness ready for two consecutive encounters with Nicolas Cage?
