Let Us Anticipate Nicolas Cage vs John Cusack in...THE FROZEN GROUND

wikipedia plot

The Frozen Ground is based on the true story of Alaskan detective Glenn Flothe (called Sgt. Jack Halcombe in the movie). Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) sets out to end the murderous rampage of Robert Hansen (John Cusack), a serial killer who has silently stalked the streets of Anchorage for more than 13 years. As the bodies of Anchorage women start to add up, Sgt. Halcombe goes on a personal manhunt to find the killer. When 17 year old Cindy Paulson (Vanessa Hudgens) escapes Hansen's unspeakable violence, she believes the law will take him down. Instead she finds herself, once again, fighting for her life. With her only ally, the unlikely Sgt. Halcombe, Paulson is determined to bring a serial killer to justice.

Produced by, and co-starring 50 Cent. Director's a newbie.

if this drops around the same time as Spring Breakers then Vanessa Hudgens will have the "is this shitty on purpose?" future camp classic hype on lock for 2k13

first learned about this film in nymag's recent cusack profile http://nymag.com/movies/features/john-cusack-2012-4/

In his off time on The Frozen Ground, a thriller he recently shot with Nicolas Cage in Alaska, he and friends would land a helicopter on an iceberg and smoke cigars, floating on the Arctic Sea. “That’s a pretty good day.”

The Raven was just the beginning of a dark, three-movie journey through the underworld for Cusack. He then shot The Frozen Ground, in which he stars as a serial killer (he based his portrayal of evil on crocodiles he’d seen on safari in Africa), and played a death-row inmate in Lee Daniels’s The Paperboy. To prepare for the three roles, he did Jungian shadow exercises, meditations designed to delve into parts of the subconscious you most want to hide.

At least we have this from Cusack to tide us over:
