Filmmaker Patrick Lussier premiered footage from his upcoming film Drive Angry, starring Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard, at Comic Con this past weekend.

The film stars Cage as a man who escapes hell to get revenge on the men who murdered his daughter and kidnapped his baby.

”The film has such a specific attitude, you know we would talk about what we lack in budget we’ll make up for in sheer attitude and audacity of the film itself”, says Lussier. “There are some things in the film that haven’t been in the teaser trailer and that haven’t been discussed that are sort of just jaw dropping, things that when we were shooting people would just put their hands over their face, “I can’t believe you’re shooting this, what would your parents thing of you shooting that”, yeah, you’re going to get an amazing roller coaster ride. That has at it’s core an incredibly visceral story that has a heart, that has an emotion to it., that on top of all the action and the ruthless and relentless nature of the characters there’s also a human core that bonds them together that you can really identify and latch on to these characters and completely embrace their journey and no matter how bad or vicious they are we tried to create a movie where you can fall in love the people who are on the journey.”

Next up for the filmmaker could be Condition Dead.
What’s Playing’s own Clint Morris is one of the producers on the film, which, according to Lussier, is ”a really fun, great script” that is “right now in the process of looking for financing”.
