In the exhilarating trailer for "Novocaine," Jack Quaid stumbles upon an extraordinary genetic anomaly that renders him insensitive to physical discomfort—a trait that unexpectedly proves invaluable when his girlfriend is captured during a daring bank heist. Transforming his affliction into an unparalleled superpower, Quaid morphs into a relentless, kick-ass action hero.
Quaid brings to life Nate Caine, a modest and unpretentious soul whose tranquil demeanor faces an unprecedented trial. Throughout the captivating snippet of the trailer,he's depicted nonchalantly uttering "It's fine" as a blade pierces his hand, remaining unperturbed by shards of glass embedded in his knuckles, and brazenly snatching a gun from a blazing hot deep fryer without flinching.
The actor, renowned for his portrayal of Hughie Campbell Jr. in the Prime Video sensation "The Boys," stars alongside Amber Midthunder, who brings to life the woman of Nate's dreams, whom he must valiantly rescue from a perilous kidnapping orchestrated within the confines of a bank.
At one intense moment in the trailer, Nate fiercely declares over the phone, "Do you know what it's like to spend your entire life searching for someone who gives your existence purpose? Would you idly wait for another to save her? Or would you rise up and do it yourself?"
The ensemble cast is rounded out by an impressive lineup including Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, Lou Beatty Jr., Van Hengst, Conrad Kemp, and Jacob Batalon.
"Novocaine," a production venture from FilmNation Entertainment's upstart studio Infrared, is skillfully directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, with a script penned by Lars Jacobson. This indie gem was meticulously filmed in South Africa during the first quarter of 2024.
Paramount Pictures is gearing up to unleash "Novocaine" onto theater screens from March 14, 2025, promising an adrenaline-pumping cinematic experience that will leave audiences breathless.
