The R-rated film \u2014 about an FBI agent hunting a homicidal maniac after surviving an encounter with him as a child \u2014 grossed $128 million from a $10 million budget, establishing Perkins as a horror movie maestro and further solidifying Maika Monroe (\u201cIt Follows\u201d) as a bona fide scream queen. Cage fans already knew the actor could play twisted roles well, but his demented performance as the Satan-worshipping killer still disturbed and delighted audiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPerkins will again write and direct the yet-to-be-titled movie \u2014 revealed on the 14th of the month (if you know, you know) \u2014 with Cage returning to star and produce. Details of the project are being kept under wraps. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAlso producing the movie are Range Media Partners\u2019 Brian Kavanaugh Jones; Perkins and Chris Ferguson, through their company Phobos; and Dave Caplan, under his C2 banner, which originated the rights to the property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPerkins returns to the \u201cLonglegs\u201d universe after wrapping production on his next feature, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/global\/nicole-kidman-osgood-perkins-horror-the-young-people-1236572268\/\">\u201cThe Young People,\u201d <\/a>starring Nicole Kidman, Lola Tung and Nico Parker for Neon. His other \u201cLonglegs\u201d follow-ups, \u201cThe Monkey,\u201d an adaptation of a short story by Stephen King, and \u201cKeeper,\u201d were also distributed by the indie studio.
