Do you ever watch a Nicolas Cage movie and think, "He just wasn't Nick Cage enough for me"? That shouldn't be a problem in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, an upcoming movie in which Cage plays himself.
It is described as an action-adventure, but the premise is different.
The fictionalized version of Cage is facing financial ruin and must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative and forced to live up to his own legend in order to save himself and his loved ones.
The first tease looks ridiculous, with Cage hamming it up in the best way he can, seemingly very much in on the joke. It makes me want to watch The Croods 2 and maybe even revisit Prisoners of the Ghostland. The movie will be in theaters on April 22nd.
