Beyond the title’s reference (intentional or otherwise) to the Dylan Thomas poem, it’s hard to say that I was personally very aware of the new Nicolas Cage-led thriller Dying of the Light. In fact, it hasn’t been mentioned on the pages of this site since Cage joined the project in July 2013. But here it is now, a fully realized movie that’s hitting theaters on December 5.

And look at that hat.

To pass up an opportunity to show you that hat would be a disservice to Cage fans, disrespect to Dylan Thomas and an affront to humanity itself. But wait, there’s more.

Written and directed by Paul Schrader (writer of Taxi Driver, director of Cat People, American Gigolo and more recently the Lindsay Lohan-led torture session The Canyons), Dying of the Light is a thriller about a CIA agent (Cage) who has been ordered to retire, only to find that his protege (played by Anton Yelchin) has uncovered evidence that his longtime nemesis has resurfaced. So he goes rogue to take down his enemy!

Oddly enough, this was a project originally penned by Schrader for Nicolas Winding Refn to direct and Harrison Ford to star, so we can’t imagine the script is anything but solid. It also involves Nicolas Cage, going rogue, in that hat. Submitted for your viewing pleasure, here are more exclusive images from Dying of the Light, which opens in limited release and On Demand December 5, 2014:
