Nicolas Cage seems to be having a wonderful time at this point in his career, he had return to the role of an international arms dealer for the follow-up to “Lord of War” last year, and has been quietly shooting a new action thriller in Arkasas called “Best Pancakes In The County,” co-starring Justin Long (“Barbarian,” Weapons”) and Shelley Hennig (“Obliterated”).
Ken Sanzel is writing and directing the pic after being behind “Kill Chain.” Producers on “Best Pancakes In The County” are Raja Collins (“Hunting Season”), Eduard Osipov of Beno Films (“The Last Resort”), Eric Brenner (“Crazy Heart”), and Niko Fomenko and R. Wesley Sierk III of Caliwood Pictures. A team of executive producers includes Caliwood’s John D. Straley, Audra Gricius, Jina Panebianco, Lance Kawas, Ahmed S. Boomrod, and Eugene Pruss, alongside Fortitude International‘s Nadine de Barros.

An official synopsis of the movie, as mentioned in the report from Deadline:
Set over the course of one night at a small-town diner that becomes the epicenter of a deadly standoff involving rogue federal agents, a fast-talking con man with a dangerous past (Cage), and a waitress (Hennig) harboring secrets of her own. As loyalties blur and tensions erupt, survival depends on who can outthink and outgun everyone else. In this diner, the ‘best pancakes in the county’ turn out to be the least explosive thing on the menu.
“Best Pancakes In The County” will be heading to the European Film Market in Berlin, which is taking place from February 12 to 18, concurrently happening alongside the Berlin International Film Festival, with Fortitude International handling sales and buyers for the action thriller.
