Longlegs director Osgood Perkins opened up about Nicolas Cage's performance and his intense commitment to the craft.
. Cage plays the titular serial killer behind a string of Satanic killings. Cage has always been a fearless performer, willing to do whatever it takes to give a memorable performance. Longlegs director“He’s everything that you want him to be, I’m so happy to report. It’s like you’ve come down on Christmas morning and there’s a Nicolas Cage-shaped package under your Christmas tree,” Perkins told GamesRadar+ and Inside Total Film. “You open it up and he just starts going? He’s intensely prepared.
What’s the secret to directing a unique actor like Cage? For Perkins, it was important to allow the Oscar winner to do Cage-like things before stepping in to make adjustments. “It’s like having a racehorse in your movie. It’s like, ‘Well, I guess it’s just gonna do its thing, and I’ll just stand by and make sure that nothing goes too far one way or doesn’t go far enough another way,'” Perkins explained. “I mean, I can’t imagine directing Nicolas Cage with a strong hand; it’s a very gentle touch. You’re just positioning little things here and there, every once in a while. He’s like a cello or a harp, or a saxophone.
