Less than a year ago When The Bough Breaks brought global movie audiences a tale of a couple who unknowingly choose a crazy person to be their surrogate and quickly regret it. This year, Inconceivable brings us the story of a couple who unknowingly choose a crazy person to be their surrogate and quickly regret it. The only difference between the two films is the cast, and as much as we loved Morris Chestnut in Bough he is no match for Inconceivable‘s promise of a similar plot with none other than Nicolas Cage.
The first trailer for Inconceivable recently arrived online ahead of its summer release. The footage introduce Cage and his on screen wife (played by Gina Gershon) as a happy couple unable to conceive. After the woman they planned to use a surrogate dies from mysterious causes the couple choose a woman (Nicky Whelan) they only recently met instead. She, as you can probably guess by now, has plans of her own for the family. She doesn’t want to help them as much as become them, and she’s not afraid to kill in order to get her way.
The official synopsis for Inconceivable reads:
A mysterious young woman, Katie, and her daughter move to a new town to escape her past and quickly befriends Angela Morgan, a mother of one who longs for a bigger family. As their lives become intricately entwined, Angela and her husband, Brian, invite Katie to live in their guest-house to serve as their nanny. Over time, the blossoming friendship between the two women spirals into a dangerous obsession as Katie becomes overly attached to the Morgans’ daughter. Enduring lies and manipulations, Angela and Brian realize that sweet Katie is actually trying to destroy their family from within.
Sounds pretty good, albeit familiar. We’ll watch literally anything with Nicolas Cage.
Inconceivable arrives in theaters and on VOD June 30.
