Top Israeli director Talya Lavie is developing “Seven Eyes,” a feature film based on the gripping story of the female lookout soldiers who were based at the Israel-Gaza border on Oct. 7, when Hamas killed more than 1,200 Israeli civilians.
Entirely staffed by women, that Idf “lookout” unit is stationed by the Nahal Oz Outpost in Southern Israel, near the village which was decimated by Hamas. In the months preceding the attack, these female soldiers consistently reported suspicious activities, indicating that Hamas terrorists were preparing for an attack, said Lavie, an alumna of the Sundance Directors and Screenwriters Lab.
Of the 24 lookout soldiers who were stationed in Nahal Oz on Oct. 7, 15 were killed during the attack, seven were abducted by Hamas into Gaza and two survived. Lavie said the film will follow fictional characters but will be based on true events.

Forced to drive a mysterious passenger at gunpoint, David finds himself embroiled in a confusing, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse
If you were programming a season of the best of the worst from Nicolas Cage’s filmography – in other words, his most interesting/outlandish/crazed performances in low-budget films – this kooky thriller would certainly be a good candidate. It features an entertainingly deranged performance from Cage, who sports a helmet of bright-red hair and a maroon smoking jacket that makes him look like a leprechaun turned lounge singer, topped off with a broad Boston accent. Cage’s unnamed character crawls without invitation into the car of David, who is already late getting to the hospital where his wife is giving birth. Despite David’s protestations that he’s not a taxi or Uber, he pulls a gun on David and insists he start driving. Who would dare to say no to...

Well, my friends… Another day, another Nicholas Cage movie. I seriously don’t know why I do it to myself, but every time I see a Cage movie appear, well I just can’t help myself. I have to watch them just to see just how Nicolas Cage this Nicolas Cage movie could be. Does anyone else have this unhealthy obsession… No? Just me? Oh right.
Sympathy for the Devil tells the story of The Driver (Joel Kinnaman). Tonight The Driver should be with his wife, she is in the hospital giving birth. While parking up at the hospital he is joined by a mysterious man known only as The Passenger (Nicholas Cage). The Driver soon realises he hasn’t been mistaken for an Uber and The Passenger has something nefarious planned for the night ahead.

A4’s supernatural horror Talk To Me opens the debut film by Australian brothers and popular YouTubers Danny and Michael Philippou on 2,300 screens. Strong reviews (see Deadline’s here), A24 large built-in fan base and its elevated horror cred saw a Thursday gross of $1.25 million, looking to top a $4-5M weekend.
The Sundance-premiering pic follows a group of friends who discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand and become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces. Michael Philippou gleefully freaked out a Comic-Con event last week with a stunt that saw him possessed by an embalmed hand before meeting what appeared to be a bloody end. Stars Sophie Wilde, Joe Bird, Alexandra Jensen, Otis Dhanji and Joe Bird. Written by Bill Hinzman and Danny Philippou.

No matter the role or movie, Nicolas Cage reliably makes fascinating choices that captivate and frequently entertain. So, it goes without saying that Cage playing an enigmatic gun-wielding madman sounds like the perfect foil for Joel Kinnaman’s straight-man in the cat-and-mouse road thriller Sympathy for the Devil. Despite Cage’s presence and the pulpy stylings, though, this chamber piece frequently threatens to fall asleep at the wheel.
Sympathy for the Devil introduces its protagonist, credited only as The Driver (Kinnaman), as a doting dad dropping his son off with his mother-in-law before heading to the hospital where his wife is in labor with their second child. The Driver pulls into the parking garage only for a strange man with bright red hair and a snazzy suit to calmly slide into his backseat and hold him at gunpoint. The Passenger ignores all please and instructs The Driver to head out toward an undisclosed location,...

The scene, Las Vegas. The Driver (Joel Kinnaman) is headed to the hospital to welcome their new child into the world. Upon arriving in the underground parking The Passenger (Nic Cage) hops in the back seat, points a gun at them, and tells them to drive away from the hospital. The Driver is ordered to take The Passenger away from the Las Vegas strip, out of the city. Why though? What does The Passenger want? Why did they pick this car? Is this more than just a random hijacking? Yuval Adler’s direction starts out level and static but changes as the story escalates further and further out of control. Their camera emerges from a static point and sways and swings with the increasing...

This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movie being reviewed here wouldn't exist.
There are two types of Nicolas Cage movies. There are legitimately good films that remind us he's a genuinely good, even great, actor — films like "Mandy" and "Pig." And then there's everything else. We're talking smaller films in which Cage and his wacko performance are usually the only interesting things to grab hold of. "Sympathy For the Devil" is more the latter than the former. No one is going to accuse this of being one of Cage's better films, but it is a good delivery system for Cage's usual wild man antics. He's once again given free rein to do what he wants, and what he wants to do, at least here, is to go off the deep end.
Which is fine!

D (Joel Kinnaman) is never late. For anything. He couldn’t let someone down even if he tried. So there’s no reason to worry when he learns his wife has gone into labor. At least nothing beyond the knowledge he’ll be as anxious about not being around to supervise things at work, since he’s soon becoming a dad again. All he must do is follow the checklist.
Grab the bag. Drop off their son at his mother-in-law’s house. Call into the office one last time to ensure everything is under control. And arrive at the hospital with time to spare. Maybe he’ll hit traffic. Maybe she’ll be induced due to the complications that led to them losing their first child. Maybe a strange man in red (Nicolas Cage) will jump into the backseat of his car the second he parks, gun drawn and demanding...

Directed by Yuval Adler from a screenplay by Luke Paradise, Sympathy for the Devil plays like a cut-rate Collateral, except with the unfortunate cabbie at the center of Michael Mann’s film swapped out with a hostage driver named David (Joel Kinnaman). As soon as David, an expectant father, pulls into the parking garage of the hospital where his wife is about to give birth, Nicolas Cage’s gangster character hops into the backseat and holds him at gunpoint, forcing him to drive away. From there, Sympathy for the Devil verges on plotlessness as it skates through such timeworn scenarios for the crime movie as being pulled over by a cop or stopping off at a diner, never managing an ounce of tension or mystery along the way.

“He is one of the most individualistic and captivating screen presences in the last 40 years. Beyond his unique charisma, the kinds of atypical characters he’s been drawn to and what he can bring to them is so special and rare,” artistic director Mitch Davis told Variety.
“Audiences lose their minds when he goes to these energetically extreme places: ‘Vampire’s Kiss’ was my first experience with that and I was absolutely floored. But they are also transfixed by the quiet, textured qualities he brings to more somber characters. He’s a one-of-a-kind treasure in American film.”

Exclusive: Ahead of EFM, Capstone Global and Hammerstone Studios have shared a first-look image of Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman in Sympathy for the Devil, the upcoming psychological thriller from Yuval Adler (The Secrets We Keep).
Written by Luke Paradise (the upcoming Lost on a Mountain in Maine), the pic follows “The Driver” (Kinnaman), who finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive a mysterious man, “The Passenger” (Cage).

Christian Mercuri’s Capstone Studios is handling world sales on the pic and has reteamed with Alex Lebovici’s Hammerstone Studios to produce alongside Cage’s Saturn Films. Capstone and Hammerstone previously collaborated on Boy Kills World, an action-thriller starring Bill Skarsgård, currently in post-production.
“Fans can expect an adrenaline rush watching these two powerhouse talents go toe-to-toe,” said producer Allan Ungar.
