Nicolas Cage has revealed that Friday the 13th slasher Jason Voorhees was an inspiration while he was working on his latest movie Mandy.
It’s here that Nicolas Cage says Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th came into play, which he attributes to director Panos Cosmato.
Not only did Nicolas Cage channel Jason Voorhees in the upcoming Mandy, but the bloody stunt work also served a form of extreme physical therapy for his ankle.
Before Nicolas Cage’s Red Miller character ends up taking a “supernatural drug” in Mandy, the actor likened his fighting ability to that of a feral cat.
