Nicolas Cage to Lead C.L.A.Y.

The psychological cyber-thriller follows a computer prodigy drawn into an underground hacker collective as digital provocations trigger real-world consequences.

  • Actor Nicolas Cage and Michael Sheen have joined the cast of C.L.A.Y., a "psychological cyber-thriller" written and directed by Swiss producer Simon Afram, with production beginning in London this November.
  • The film follows a "brilliant but socially invisible computer prodigy" drawn into C.L.A.Y. , an underground hacker collective whose "daring exploits" turn "digital provocation into real-world consequences."
  • This project reunites the core cast of Fortitude, an upcoming World War II espionage film by director Simon West. Afram is currently pursuing a $105 million lawsuit against Netflix regarding that production.
  • Joining the ensemble are Jordi Molla, Emilio Sakraya, and Adrian Topol, with casting directed by Rich Mento. Clay Pictures Ltd serves as the production company of record.
  • With no official release date, industry reports suggest C.L.A.Y. will not debut before 2028. Meanwhile, Sheen currently appears alongside 20 other celebrities in The Celebrity Traitors, airing on BBC One.
