New Mindcage images spotlight Martin Lawrence, John Malkovich & Melissa Roxburgh.
The Recall writer and director duo Reggie Keyohara III and Mauro Borrelli, respectively, have reunited on an all-new thriller titled Mindcage. The film stars Academy Award-nominee John Malkovich opposite Martin Lawrence in a tense crime thriller that evokes the feel of those early to mid-90s gems like Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. Ahead of its release, a few first-look images give us a sneak-peek of this tense cat and mouse mind game.
Mindcage is reported to be a gripping thriller that sees detectives Jake Doyle and Mary Kelly, played by actress Melissa Roxburgh , investigating a slew of murders. When it's discovered that these killings aren't random, but copycat murders of an infamous serial killer, Jake and Mary determine the best course of action to get a step ahead is to peer into the mind of the original killer known as The Artist .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Similar to the relationship between Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs, the images show Roxburgh's Detective Kelly pleading with The Artist for his assistance in tracking down this copycat killer. This crime drama marks off another genre box for the actress whose filmography has spanned across sci-fi in Star Trek Beyond, horror fantasy with the hit series Supernatural and her breakout in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules.
Considering his role as Marcus Burnett in the Bad Boys franchise, Lawrence is well-equipped to play a leading detective, though Mindcage proves a bit darker tonally than his Will Smith team-ups. Best known for his roles in the comedy genre, Lawrence is seen in the photos butting heads with The Artist, and investigating the murders alongside partner Mary Kelly.
Mindcage is currently in its post-production phase with no set release date. Check back with Collider for more details as they develop, and check out the images below:
