Nicolas Cage is set to star in the survival-action thriller "Sand and Stones" which will begin production next month in Dublin.

The story unfolds in a sparsely populated future where normal life has been decimated. Paul (Cage) and his twin teenage sons, Thomas and Joseph, have managed to survive in their remote farmhouse, yet they live in constant fear.

Scripted by Michael Nilon (Braven), Sand and Stones has the following synopsis:

"In the future, in a sparsely populated world, normal life has been decimated. Paul (Cage) and his twin teenage sons, Thomas and Joseph, have managed to claw out an existence in their remote farmhouse, yet they live in constant fear. When the sun sets, ferocious creatures of the night awaken to hunt and consume all living souls in their path. And when Thomas makes one small mistake, the nocturnal creatures gain the upper hand and come for them. In a race against time, Paul, Thomas and Joseph must execute a desperate plan for survival."

Cage is producing the film through his company Saturn Films, alongside Nilon, Braxton Pope, David Wulf of Redline Entertainment, and Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier of Highland Film Group. Aperture’s Slava Vladimirov, Jared Underwood, and Andrew Robinson serve as executive producers.
