The hype around Longlegs, a new crime thriller starring Nicolas Cage, continues to build with the help of a brilliant marketing campaign and stellar early reviews. The latest example of the former comes in a minute-plus teaser trailer that details star Maika Monroe's literal heart-pounding experience in seeing Cage in character as the serial killer Longlegs for the first time.
The trailer says the scene it features is the fateful meeting between Monroe's FBI agent and Cage's Longlegs. The trailer also indicates that this was the first that the actress saw Cage in his full character makeup. As they have with all of the promotional materials to date, Neon (the company releasing the movie) did not share what Cage looks like in the trailer, instead blocking him out with either the slate or adding a black box over his face. But the visuals are less important in the trailer than the audio, which includes what they say is Monroe's actual heartbeat during filming.
