"This sounds potentially disastrous. Cage will always be entertaining in some small way, but Christensen hasn't done anything good since Shattered Glass, and certainly can't match his co-star in terms of sheer insanity." The film was supposed to come out last year but now it's been completed and there's a trailer which....aww heck, just check it out for yourself. You know it's awful.
Outcast TRAILER 1 (2015) - Nicolas Cage, Hayden Christensen Warrior Epic Movie HD by MOVIES Coming Soon
Bad accents and worse hair are the major takeaways from this piece of crap, which has Cage as a battle-hardened knight looking to make amends for the slaughtering he did in the Crusades by searching for his friend in Ancient China. There's a lot more to this convoluted plot that you can suss out through the official synopsis:
Ancient China - Princess Lian and her younger brother, Zhao, flee for their lives when their father, the Emperor, is murdered by his ambitious eldest son Shing. Pursued by Shing's black guards, the royal runaways find protection in the form of Arken, a hardened knight seeking redemption from the traumatic nightmares of the Crusades as he searches for his former friend and mentor, Gallain, now a notorious bandit on the silk road. Their gruelling journey sees an unlikely romance bloom between the refined princess and the gruff warrior and Zhao learns the true meaning of leadership from this western warrior. Setting aside their differences, Aarken and Gallain once again fight side by side in an epic and unwinnable battle against Shing and his forces - only this time they are fighting for something they both believe in.
Outcast opens on February 27th 2015, which you'll be "shocked" to learn is the armpit of the movie season. Go figure.
