Horror’s Carpenter and Nicholas Cage…Going To Prison?
Horror helmer John Carpenter and Nicholas Cage are teaming up for a new non-horror movie called Scared Straight. Reportedly, the story follows a youth who is sent to prison for a program, aptly called Scared Straight. During a prison riot, he is taken hostage, and Cage’s character, who is already sentenced to prison for life, plots to get him out of the fiasco, living and breathing.
It’s awesome that Cage is getting back into the prison gear, as you may recall he was in the Con Air, and later, Face/Off with John Travolta. In both of those roles, Cage looked right at home. Not that I don’t like him as the treasure hunter/historian guy Ben Gates, but it’s nice to see Cage being the prison go-to guy! He’s definitely got the knack for it, portraying the one to have around in a disaster.
Kudos for Carpenter getting involved in a project he must love. Prison is scary enough without the horror effects. As for the merits of this prison program? Sounds like being taken hostage during a prison riot could certainly deter a lot of youths from any criminal ways.
