1. Nicolas Cage really, really wants his pig back

"The British are coming." "It is not the strongest of the species that survives … it is the one that is the most adaptable to change." "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." All of these are quotes that profoundly changed the world; add now to their number, "Who has my pig?" On Thursday, Neon released the first trailer for Pig, in which Nicolas Cage (who is a good actor!!!) goes full "Liam Neeson in Taken" over his lost truffle pig. Though Cage's character is a man of few words, the trailer does have several other instantly iconic quotes, including someone dismissively telling Cage to "buy yourself a new pig." But if it were that simple, then we wouldn't have this movie to look forward to, coming July 16.
