Today, we share some quotes from Nicolas Cage and Alex Wolff on the titular animal in Pig.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n<p>In <strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong>\u2019s latest movie, <em><strong>Pig<\/strong><\/em>, he plays a former chef turned loner named Rob who lives an isolated life in the woods with his truffle-sniffing pig. When the pig is stolen, Rob embarks on a journey to recover his companion. But this is not a revenge tale; rather, this is the story of a lonely man slowly emerging back into society.<\/p>\n<p>Cage and <strong>Alex Wolff<\/strong> have both been praised for their powerful performances in the movie. But there is an unsung hero. The titular pig, played by Brandy, worked on the movie for carrots and always knew when to lock in a soul gaze with her Oscar-winning co-star.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-nicolas-cage-on-brandy-the-pig\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nicolas_Cage_on_Brandy_the_pig\"><\/span>Nicolas Cage on Brandy the pig<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When asked what it was like to work with Brandy the pig, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/nicolas-cage-pig-interview\">Nicolas Cage told <em>GQ<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u00a0\u201cShe was very, like many of us, payment-oriented. She was interested in food really and food only, understandably. She wasn\u2019t that interested in people and I get that. But if they need a very soulful look in her eyes, off-camera, you could show her a bit of carrot. She seemed to like that. Brandy was her name.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In describing her soulful gaze, Cage didn\u2019t just see her as an animal but as a fellow performer. He formed a connection with the pig that the movie\u2019s director, <strong>Michael Sarnoski<\/strong>, and director of photography, <strong>Patrick Scola<\/strong>, were able to capture on camera. As Cage <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2021\/07\/nicolas-cage-pig-interview-1234652552\/\">told IndieWire<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Michael and our excellent director of photography\u2019s way of shooting, what information they wanted to put in the frame, added weight to the relationship between Rob and Brandy. It never lapsed into schmaltz or a s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y Hallmark card. Michael was observant of the relationship and brought the audience into the wilderness with the two of them in way that was gentle and neutral, which makes it more meaningful. It wasn\u2019t to try to get you to feel something. It was more matter of fact.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cage went on to explain that he loves working with animals. \u201cMagical things happen when you have a scene with a dog or a cat,\u201d he said. \u201cAny animal, really.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alex_Wolff_on_Nicolas_the_man\"><\/span>Alex Wolff on Nicolas the man<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nicolas Cage wasn\u2019t the only one to shower Brandy the pig with praise. In interviews, Alex Woolf has called the animal a \u201cdiva.\u201d And alongside the pig, Wolff also described acting with Cage and their relationship on screen. As he <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slantmagazine.com\/film\/alex-wolff-interview-pig-old-shyamalan-nicolas-cage\/\">told Slant<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cHe accidentally elevates everyone around him. But his craft is so beyond words. That\u2019s why we do it, although neither of us can intellectually hold it in our hand what makes acting together so special. What we had was just a connection that was really about the two of us dancing together. It was jazz.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_haiku_of_cinema\"><\/span>A haiku of cinema<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em>Pig<\/em> was initially seen as \u201c<em>John Wick <\/em>with a pig.\u201d But Nicolas Cage explained to IndieWire that this film is \u201ca haiku of cinema, quiet, an in-depth character analysis that relies heavily on the ambiance and the photography and the quietude of all the performances and the writing. It is not a tale of revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Pig<\/em> allowed Cage to access a new side of himself, letting him create a layered and complex character with a special bond with his porcine companion.<\/p>\n<pre><code>    Related Topics: Entering The Discourse, Nicolas Cage, Pig\n    &lt;!-- AUTHOR BOX --&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"gray-bg p-4 border small mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center text-md-center\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/marybeth.jpg\" class=\"circle img-fluid\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\">\n            Mary Beth McAndrews thinks found footage is good and will fight you if you say otherwise.
