Micah Haley here, film producer and LSU alum.
During the doldrums of COVID, I went into the wilderness with Nicolas Cage (and a band of misfit artisan filmmakers) to produce the master thespian's first Western! Cage plays a retired gunslinger named Colton Briggs, who hunts down some killers with the help of his 12 year old daughter. It's a throwback to classic Westerns like UNFORGIVEN and TRUE GRIT. Really a good time... no 3-D glasses required.
The movie was fully financed and produced by Louisiana-based Intercut Capital, and after we finished shooting it in the Montana desert, we brought it home for post-production. It features an original score by Lafayette native Andrew Morgan Smith. The final color and sound design were crafted in New Orleans by Bradley Greer's Kyotocolor and Apex Post. It's been a labor of love!
THE OLD WAY hits theaters on Friday, January 6! You can check out the trailer here: OLD WAY Trailer
Other familiar faces you might recognize include Nick Searcy (JUSTIFIED), the legend himself Clint Howard (ICE CREAM MAN), Shiloh Fernandez (EVIL DEAD) and the young talented Ryan Kiera Armstrong (FIRESTARTER).
Happy to answer any questions about the movie, filmmaking in general, film finance, etc.
Or we can just dunk on Bama.

I am very jealous.
Nic Cage is one of the greats.

Nick Cage was incredible. Truly can't say enough about his professionalism and devotion to his craft. 10/10 can't wait to work with him on a movie again!

The Weatherman is one of the most underrated movies of all time.

All of the chickens in the movie are fully clothed.

The kind of filmmaker that whittles a movie out of old shoe leather and hope!

Not hard, Cage makes three movies a day.

Ok

Love me some Cage. Will check this out, thanks for the heads up.

I’m looking forward to checking this one out. Nic Cage is great. Also, I think many people are looking for just good entertaining fun movies without all of the woke garbage. Still blows my mind that Hollywood can’t figure out how Top Gun did so great, but basically everything else flops. We just want to be entertained without being preached to.

The good old fashioned way: a great script, a compelling director and a great casting director!

Ha! He's actually been very picky after PIG, which received some of the best reviews of his career. MASSIVE TALENT was also an excellent film. THE OLD WAY makes it a hat trick!

I'll give it a try. I like westerns and I like Nick Cage, so yeah.
Lumping these two together kind of throws me. For me, they are not really similar movies - except for the elderly protagonists. Both good movies in their own right, but I think UNFORGIVEN is a ways above.

It's pretty different than both of those movies, but THE OLD WAY is similar in that both of those films are classic period Westerns that look and feel like they might've been made by John Ford - as opposed to a much more modern Tarantino-esque approach to the story and cinematography.

I like the classics so I'm good with this. I kind of look at UNFORGIVEN as a bit innovative rather than classic. Not Tarantino by any means, but I think it kind of diverted from the "good guy/bad guy" vibes of the older films in some ways. The stuff like showing the pain of the shot cowboy, the way the kid realized that real life was not like his imagination, and even the torturing of Ned kind of set it apart from the earlier stuff.
Not sure which way the Cage film goes, but either way can make for quality movies.

I'll check it out. I remember seeing the original thread someone started on it and thought it looked fun
