First ‘Pig’ Trailer Stars Nicolas Cage as a Truffle Hunter Looking for His Lost Hog
Cage goes after his missing pig on July 16.
The first trailer for Nicolas Cage’s Pig has been released, about a truffle hunter who searches for his lost foraging pig in Oregon, and has to reckon with his past in Portland. For a Nicolas Cage film, that actually sounds pretty normal.
The trailer begins like one of Cage’s quieter roles, yet once Cage says the words, “I’m looking for a truffle pig,” all bets are off. Leaving the woods and heading for the city, Cage’s Rob visits his culinary past while finding his stolen friend. As Cage says in the trailer, “We don’t get a lot of things to really care about,” and while his search for his pig seems like it could dive into the realm of crazy Cage performances, this first trailer looks like an excellent opportunity for Cage to show how great an actor he is in more serious dramatic roles. Pig is the debut feature from director Michael Sarnoski, who also wrote the screenplay, based on a story by Sarnoski and Vanessa Block. Also starring in Pig are Alex Wolff (Hereditary), Adam Arkin (Chicago Hope), Nina Belforte, Gretchen Corbett (The Rockford Files), Julia Bray, Darius Pierce, and Elijah Ungvary.
