The new trailer for Archlight Films’ medieval action movie Outcast has just been released and it features Nicholas Cage and Hayden Christensen as ex-Crusades warriors.
The historical drama is set in 12th century China, and follows Cage, who takes on the name The White Ghost, a former Crusader-turned-outlaw. He allies himself with one of his former soldiers, played by Hayden Christensen, as they both team up with the daughter and son of an assassinated Chinese emperor. They seek to defeat their cruel uncle who desires the throne.
Below is the film’s official synopsis:
Ancient China – Princess Lian and her younger brother, Zhao, flee for their lives when their father, the Emperor, is murdered by his ambitious eldest son Shing. Pursued by Shing’s black guards, the royal runaways find protection in the form of Arken, a hardened knight seeking redemption from the traumatic nightmares of the Crusades as he searches for his former friend and mentor, Gallain, now a notorious bandit on the silk road. Their gruelling journey sees an unlikely romance bloom between the refined princess and the gruff warrior and Zhao learns the true meaning of leadership from this western warrior. Setting aside their differences, Aarken and Gallain once again fight side by side in an epic and unwinnable battle against Shing and his forces – only this time they are fighting for something they both believe in.
Stuntman Nick Powell (Resident Evil: Retribution) will make his directorial debut with this feature, with a script penned by James Dormer (The Holding, Strike Back).
Outcast hits theaters February 27, 2015. Check out the trailer below!
