Here’s a brand new and exclusive behind the scenes clip from Nicolas Cage’s latest movie USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage which sees the veteran actor take on the role of Charles McWay in the movie based on a true story.
You may recall Quint’s monologue in 1974 movie Jaws where recounts the demise of the USS Indianapolis after being torpedoed by the Japanese and how all the crew of the Portland-class cruiser were forced into the shark-invested waters beneath…. well this is that very story. The USS Indianapolis was on of the ships used to deliver the atomic payload on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which would eventually see the end to the second world war come to and end in the Pacific.
Actor turned director Mario Van Peebles takes the helm of this astonishing story which is released today. Van Peebles talks us through what we can expect from the movie and what it was like to reunite with his former Cotton Club co-star Nicolas Cage.
Joining Nicolas Cage are Saving Private Ryan’s Tom Sizemore, Thomas Jane, Matt Lanter, James Remar, Yutaka Takeuchi and Brian Presley.
