Nicolas Cage to Star in Post‑Apocalyptic Thriller Parish

Concourse Media is launching worldwide pre-sales ahead of the TIFF market to help lock in financing and global distribution for the film.

Overview

  • The casting and project details were disclosed in a Deadline exclusive published Wednesday and were quickly reported by multiple outlets.
  • Parish is set 30 years after a nuclear apocalypse and follows a hardened survivor who enforces a strict 'never let anyone through the gate' rule before a desperate woman with an infant forces a moral choice that draws a band of cannibals to his compound.
  • Adam Sigal will write and direct the film, and veteran cinematographer David Tattersall has been hired as director of photography.
  • Concourse Media plans world pre-sales ahead of the Toronto festival market, with financing participation from Archetype Media Finance and production being lined up to start in October in Minnesota; no release date or full cast has been announced.
  • Producers are positioning Parish as a scaled theatrical event, a move that aims to secure international distribution commitments and festival placement while leveraging Cage’s recent genre work to drive audience interest.
