Cage to Reunite With Ghost Rider 2 Director for Mom and Dad
Nicolas Cage is set to re-team with Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance co-director Brian Taylor for the upcoming horror-thriller Mom and Dad.
"This is the kind of role Nic was put here to play," said Taylor, who co-directed both the second Ghost Rider film and both Crank movies with Mark Neveldine. "Human, funny, scary -- somehow grounded while at the same time completely off the rails. For a filmmaker there is nothing quite like the experience of Nic Cage bringing a character you’ve written to life."
