Nicolas Cage was spotted sporting a distinguished head of grey hair and matching beard during filming for The Dying of the Light in Australia yesterday (March 5).
The 50-year-old actor, who recently stated that he's "in the process of reinventing" himself, was also pictured with long grey sideburns and a goatee beard. He donned a suit and pair of tinted glasses for the shoot on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
The upcoming thriller, written and directed by Paul Schrader, centres around a CIA agent (played by Cage) who begins to go blind while on his last ever assignment.
The cast also features Star Trek's Anton Yelchin and Swiss actress Irène Jacob.
Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn was set to helm the project, with Harrison Ford originally attached to star.
Speaking about the film last summer, prior to confirmation of Cage's casting, Schrader explained: "I think Nic Refn will be exec producer or something, [and] we have gotten an A-actor for [the film].
"He's agreed to the terms, but we're still negotiating the perks."
The Dying of the Light is set for release in 2015.
