Nicolas Cage’s appearance in ‘Longlegs’ terrified costar Maika Monroe and fans alike
“The first time Maika Monroe saw Nicolas Cage as Longlegs, was in the following scene,” a promo released via social media on Monday, July 8, read. The video then cut to a clip of Cage, 60, with his face hidden behind a movie marker.
As someone on set yelled “action,” Monroe opened the door and slowly stepped through the threshold. She began to shut the door behind her, stepping backward as it closed.“Maika’s resting heart rate is 76 BPM,” the text said. “In this scene, it hit 170 BPM.”The clip also displayed a quote from Monroe, which read, “When I walked in and saw Nicolas Cage for the first time as Longlegs, that was a visceral experience I’ll never forget.
Following the teaser’s release, fans took to social media to weigh in on the video — and Cage’s character. Directed by Oz Perkins, Longlegs centers around FBI agent who pursues an infamous serial killer, played by Cage. According to Monroe, Perkins wanted to keep her and Cage “completely separate” ahead of filming as to not spoil his look.
