The first clip from The Surfer, which stars Nicholas Cage and features Western Australia’s beautiful beaches in all their glory, has dropped ahead of its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Nicholas headed to Australia in the summer of 2023, and relocated to Yallingup, which is a small beach-side town in WA’s South West, to film the flick.
