Paramount Pictures has dropped the thrilling trailer and eye-catching poster for Novocaine, the adrenaline-fueled action film starring Jack Quaid (The Boys, Oppenheimer) as an everyman turned unlikely hero. Directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, the film is set to hit theaters on March 14, 2025, delivering a pulse-pounding tale of love, resilience, and one man’s ability to defy the odds.
Meet Nathan Caine: The Man Who Feels No Pain
The trailer introduces Nathan “Nate” Caine (Quaid), a seemingly ordinary man with an extraordinary condition—an inability to feel physical pain. When his girlfriend (Amber Midthunder, Prey) is kidnapped, Nate’s unusual condition becomes his greatest strength. From high-octane chase sequences to brutal hand-to-hand combat, the film promises a heart-stopping adventure as Nate battles his way through dangerous foes to save the woman he loves.
The trailer teases gripping action, razor-sharp humor, and moments of vulnerability as Nate learns to embrace his unique gift in a fight against all odds.
“Nate’s condition is both a blessing and a curse,” says co-director Dan Berk. “He can push himself farther than anyone else, but he also has to confront what it means to be truly human in the process.”
A Stellar Cast and Creative Team
In addition to Quaid and Midthunder, Novocaine boasts a talented ensemble cast including Ray Nicholson (Licorice Pizza), Betty Gabriel (Get Out), Matt Walsh (Veep), Lou Beatty Jr. (Jury Duty), and Jacob Batalon (Spider-Man: No Way Home).
The film is written by Lars Jacobson and produced by an impressive team including Drew Simon, Tory Tunnell, and Joby Harold, known for hits like Safehouse and Infrared.
What to Expect
The newly released poster (available below) captures the gritty essence of the film, featuring Nate front and center, with bruises, grit, and determination etched into his face. The tagline, “Meet Nathan Caine. He Feels No Pain,” sets the tone for an explosive narrative.
With its mix of high-stakes action, emotional depth, and dark humor, Novocaine is poised to stand out as one of 2025’s most exciting cinematic offerings. The combination of Jack Quaid’s charisma and the directors’ knack for dynamic storytelling ensures this film will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
