A new poster for John Carpenter’s Riot has been released online, revealing a whole lot of nothing about the director’s first movie in a decade.
As you can see in the gallery, the teaser poster highlights that Nic Cage will star in the movie, even turning the tagline into a pun on his name. Cage… Uncaged... See what they did there? *sigh*
Originally entitled Scared Straight, Riot follows the story of a troubled youth who is sent to jail under a crime-prevention program. When a riot breaks out, a lifer (Cage) is forced to help him out.
Sounds like a perfect Carpenter movie to us. Prisons, all-male cast, issues of government intervention and repression. We’re cautiously optimistic.
Thanks to SlashFilm for the poster.

Here's hoping it's less Ghosts of Mars, more Escape from New York. Cigarette Burns for the Masters of Horror series wasn't bad, so fingers crossed eh?
