Paramount has shared the first teaser for Novocaine, an action-comedy starring Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder that blends high-stakes thrills with dark humour. Directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, the film is set to hit cinemas on March 14, 2025, with its unique premise and charismatic cast positioning it as a standout in the crowded spring release slate.
Quaid plays Nathan Caine, an introverted everyman with a rare genetic disorder that makes him impervious to physical pain. While this condition has kept him isolated for most of his life, it unexpectedly becomes his greatest weapon when his new girlfriend (Midthunder) is kidnapped during a bank heist. With no ability to feel injury, Nathan is forced into action, navigating a series of chaotic, high-octane situations that transform him from an unassuming outsider into an unlikely hero.
The film’s supporting cast includes Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, Lou Beatty Jr., Van Hengst,...

"These guys took the girl I love - I won't stop 'till I get her back." Paramount has launched their 30-second Super Bowl spot for the action comedy Novocaine - arriving in theaters everywhere in March. This does look like it will be crazy fun to watch, hopefully, with some bonkers action. Meet Nathan Caine. He feels no pain. When the girl of his dreams (played by Midthunder) is kidnapped, everyman Nate turns his inability to feel pain into an unexpected strength in his fight to get her back. Jack Quaid stars as Nate Caine (a similar name to "novocaine" obviously) along with Amber Midthunder, Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, Lou Beatty Jr., Van Hengst, Conrad Kemp, Jacob Batalon. Still reminds me of those Crank movies - this does look amusing enough to go watch in theaters. There better be some badass fights in here. // Continue Reading ›...

The Boys‘ Jack Quaid’s a superhero of sorts in Novocaine, an action comedy from directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen (Significant Other). The Super Bowl spot shows Quaid’s character never flinching when he gets beat up, is shot, or when he takes an arrow to the leg.
Amber Midthunder, Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, Lou Beatty Jr., Evan Hengst, Conrad Kemp, and Jacob Batalon also star. Lars Jacobson wrote the screenplay, and Drew Simon, Tory Tunnell, Joby Harold, Sam Speiser, Matt Schwartz, and Julian Rosenberg serve as producers. Executive producers include Paul Barbeau, Glen Basner, Josh Adler, Lars Jacobson, and Alison Cohen.

Super Bowl Lix kicks off this Sunday, bringing a deluge of celebrity-endorsed product placements, cleverly written commercials (we hope), and upcoming film and television trailers. However, some adverts are too excited to wait for the big day, so Paramount’s action-oriented roller coaster, Novocaine, is getting ahead of the pack with a brand-new Super Bowl trailer before the big game.
Dan Berk and Robert Olsen direct Novocaine from a script by Lars Jacobson. The film, coming to theaters on March 14, 2025, stars Jack Quaid, an everyman with Cipa (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis), meaning he cannot feel pain. When the girl of his dreams (Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped, Nate (Quaid) turns his inability to feel pain into an unexpected strength in his fight to get her back.

Jack Quaid finds the rare genetic disorder that makes him impervious to physical pain becomes useful when he tries to save his girlfriend taken hostage in a bank robbery in the Novocaine trailer.
Suddenly, his affliction becomes a superpower as he turns into an ass-kicking action hero. Quaid plays Nate Caine, a mild-mannered everyman. Throughout the look at the film, he’s seen saying “It’s fine” when a knife is driven into his hand and feeling no pain when shards of glass are embedded in his knuckles, or when he grabs a gun from a hot deep fryer.
The actor, best known as Hughie Campbell Jr. in Prime Video’s hit series The Boys, stars opposite Amber Midthunder. She portrays the girl of his dreams, whom he must fight to rescue when she is kidnapped at the bank.

In the 1999 Pierce Brosnan James Bond film, The World is Not Enough, the villain Renard, played by Robert Carlyle, was a tough opposer for the 00-agent since he couldn’t feel pain. That concept is now being explored with a new twist as Jack Quaid plays an everyday man with a similar trait, only he is harnessing it to become a reluctant hero. Paramount has released the trailer to Novocaine, which stars Quaid, Amber Midthunder, Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, Lou Beatty Jr., Van Hengst, Conrad Kemp and Jacob Batalon.

"You gotta be careful dude. You can still die. You're not Wolverine!" Paramount has unveiled the official trailer for an action comedy called Novocaine, landing in theaters in March 2025 early next year. From the filmmaking duo Dan Berk & Robert Olsen comes this crazy new action flick. Which reminds me of the two super crazy Crank and Crank: High Voltage movies. Meet Nathan Caine. He feels no pain. When the girl of his dreams (played by Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped, everyman Nate turns his inability to feel pain into an unexpected strength in his fight to get her back. Jack Quaid stars as Nate Caine (that name is a bit too similar to "novocaine" but that's obviously on purpose) along with Amber Midthunder, Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, Lou Beatty Jr., Van Hengst, Conrad Kemp, Jacob Batalon. This looks like a totally ridiculous concept that should make for a totally entertaining movie.

When the TV series based on the popular video game franchise Twisted Metal made its premiere on the Peacock streaming service back in July, it quickly became one of Peacock’s top five original series, racking up 400 million viewing minutes in its first weekend and earning the honor of being the streamer’s “most-binged” premiere. So it’s no surprise to hear the show has been renewed, with Peacock ordering season 2. Star / executive producer Anthony Mackie broke the news last night during The Game Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and it was confirmed by a promo video, which you can see at the bottom of this article.

Peacock Original series “Twisted Metal” has unleashed a brand new “explicit” trailer this afternoon, labeled as such for one particularly gory scene featuring the villain Sweet Tooth.
The latest trailer for Peacock’s action-comedy series also puts the spotlight on the automobile action you’d expect from a “Twisted Metal” series, which surprisingly hasn’t been much of a focal point of the marketing up to this point. Watch the brand new trailer below.
“Twisted Metal” premieres on July 27, 2023, only on Peacock.

Peacock has released a trailer for its forthcoming series Twisted Metal — two of them, actually, one of which is billed as a “clean version” and bleeps out a number of profanities.
But if you’re interested in a series based on the Twisted Metal video game series, a few curse words probably aren’t going to be an issue.
The trailer offers a much larger look at the series, which stars Anthony Mackie as delivery driver John Doe, than an earlier teaser did. John sets the scene with voiceover narration: “Twenty years ago, the world fell to shit. Cities put up walls to protect themselves and threw the criminals out to fight over what was left.”
John is hired (by guest star Neve Campbell’s character) to pick up and deliver a package to New San Francisco. Along the way, he takes on a passenger (Stephanie Beatriz) — who hitches a...

Peacock's take on the Twisted Metal franchise looks to have nailed the tone of the beloved Playstation video game series.
The streaming service went public with the official trailer Monday morning, boasting a compelling post-apocalyptic tale with fine acting and comedy.
There's plenty of comedy, and the series has picked an excellent cast to tell this thrilling tale.
In this universe, the government erected big walls to close certain people out of the big cities, leaving everyone else to fight for what's outside.
It's a decent concept that seemingly translates very well to the screen.
Anthony Mackie plays John Doe on the series, a man well-known for finding things.
He's tasked with completing a missing for Neve Campbell's Raven, and his demands for payment aren't what you'd expect from someone battling for survival.
Along the way, he meets Stephanie Beatriz' Quiet, a lady who doesn't speak very much... until she's caught up in conflict.

To paraphrase John Doe, “This is where the cars and guns come in.”
Whereas a first sneak peek at Peacock’s Twisted Metal involved a physical brawl between John (played by MCU vet Anthony Mackie) and the seriously deadly clown dubbed Sweet Tooth, the official — and very Nsfw! — trailer above features the fast-driving vehicles and explosive ordnance that fans of the PlayStation game series expect. (A “clean” version of said trailer can be viewed down below.)
