Nicolas Cage has played an ex-con in movies like Raising Arizona and Con-Air but now the star is working with an ex-con for his next movie.

Saturn Production, Cage's company, is working on a new film written by Edward Bunker, a bank robber who spent 17 years in the slammer and years on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.

'Dog Eat Dog' is a dark movie following three criminals whose next victims are those most likely to avoid the cops...other convicts.
