The 'Longlegs' cast have built up the suspense about how Nicolas Cage completely transformed into a Satanic murderer for the horror movie
Horror fans have been endlessly teased about Nicolas Cage's shocking transformation for Longlegs — but there have only been a few glimpses of the terrifying villain.
In addition to reviews that praised Cage's haunting performance, fans got in on the fun with promotional videos that required freezing the frame to catch a glimpse at Longlegs. In July, production company Neon released a trailer of Monroe seeing Longlegs for the first time while filming a scene with Cage.'The first time Maika Monroe saw Nicolas Cage as Longlegs, her heart rate hit 170 bpm,' the Instagram caption for the video read.
Cage continued: 'She would talk, like, 'Oh, Nicky, you looked just like a little bird when you were born.' And that was just scary. I think my mom did as well as she could with the situation in which she was contending with, but it was still scary. So I thought, 'I want to make this character as a sort of homage to my mother.' Not that she was satanic, but her vocalizations, the way she would move. So that’s why this is so different.
Perkins confirmed that viewers wouldn't immediately see Longlegs in full while watching the movie, adding, 'Editing a picture is a nearly psychedelic experience. It really is because it's so infinite. The permutations and combinations you can get from putting this there and that there, you're in a Rubik's Cube of possibilities. I think we found the sweet spot. This guy lives just outside the consciousness of our protagonist.
