Nicolas Cage on Pig and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Jul 17 2021
With writer-director Michael Sarnoski’s Pig now playing in select theaters, I recently spoke to Nicolas Cage about making the fantastic film and delivering another brilliant performance. If you haven’t seen the trailer, Pig is about a truffle hunter (Cage) living alone in the Oregon wilderness who must return to society in Portland when his beloved foraging pig is kidnapped. While this could have easily turned into a wild ride, and featured an over the top performance by Cage, what I loved about his understated performance is the way he pulls you in and makes you feel the pain his character is carrying inside. If Pig is playing near you, I strongly recommend checking this film out. Pig also stars Alex Wolff, Adam Arkin, Nina Belforte, Gretchen Corbett, Julia Bray, Darius Pierce, and Elijah Ungvary.
