Nicolas Cage tackles a killer and a 400-pound jaguar (on a boat!) in 'Primal' trailer

How many times have we at EW prayed to the gods of cinema for a movie in which Nicolas Cage has to tackle both a killer and a 400-pound cat on a boat? Countless! Well, now, those prayers have been answered in the form of Primal (out Nov. 8).

In this action-thriller, Cage plays Frank Walsh, a hunter and collector of rare and exotic animals, who bags a priceless white jaguar for a zoo. Walsh figures it’ll be smooth sailing to a big payday, but the ship bearing his precious cargo has two predators caged in its hold: the cat, and a political assassin being extradited to the U.S. After the assassin breaks free — and then frees the jaguar — Cage’s character stalks the ship’s cramped corridors in pursuit of his prey, while also having to deal the big cat.

Or, as we imagine they call that in Nic Cage’s house: Wednesday!

Primal is directed by Nick Powell and costars Famke Janssen, Kevin Durand, LaMonica Garrett and Michael Imperioli. The film is released in theaters and on demand Nov. 8.
