Your eyes aren't deceiving you—there's a definite connection between all of the films screening in Wicker Park this summer. While other Movies in the Parks participants will be watching The Lego Batman Movie and Star Wars: Rogue One, anyone who brings a blanket to Wicker Park will be treated to selections from the cinematic catalog of Nicolas Cage.
The staff at Wormhole Coffee (the shop sponsors the Wicker Park summer film series) are responsible for this year's theme, which includes key entries in the filmography of Francis Ford Coppola's nephew. From his breakout role in the Coen brothers' 1987 film Raising Arizona to his turn as a cryptologist in National Treasure, there's plenty of Cage to go around.
Take a look at Wicker Park's "Summer of Cage" film lineup and the amazing poster commissioned by Wormhole Coffee below.
