I can’t decide what stands out more about TRESPASS — the sense of familiarity that compels me to watch HOSTAGE again instead, the reunion of star Nic Cage with director Joel Schumacher (8MM) and Millennium Films (who bankrolled Cage’s WICKER MAN, BAD LIEUTENANT and DRIVE ANGRY), or the fact that Cage changed characters (from victim to villain) after joining the project, then disappeared just before shooting only to return to the original role. Oh, that nutty Nic.
Anyway, the movie (unrelated to Walter Hill’s 1992 flick) hits theaters on October 14, but if you’re all escared after watching the trailer and just don’t want to leave the safety of your home, it’s also available on VOD the same day (and hits DVD just weeks later). The synopsis: “In a private, wealthy community, priority is placed on security and no exception is made for the Miller family’s estate. Behind their pristine walls and manicured gardens, Kyle (Nicolas Cage), a fast-talking businessman, has entrusted the mansion’s renovation to his stunning wife, Sarah (Nicole Kidman).
But between making those big decisions and keeping tabs on their defiant teenage daughter (Liana Liberato), Sarah often finds herself distracted by a young, handsome worker (Cam Gigandet) at their home. Nothing is what it seems, and it will take a group of cold-blooded criminals led by Elias (Ben Mendelsohn), who have been planning a vicious home invasion for months, to bring the Miller family together. When they storm the manor, everyone is tangled up in betrayal, deception, temptation and scheming. Kyle, Sarah and Avery will take the ultimate risk to make it out with their lives – and their family – intact.”
