Nicolas Cage as himself, sort of. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is an action-comedy film with Nick Cage, as a fictional version of himself, in a creatively unfulfilled situation on the verge of financial ruin. So Cage accepts a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan played by Pedro Pascal.
Things get crazy when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (played by Tiffany Haddish) and forced to channel his most iconic and beloved on-screen personas in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is in theaters on April 22nd, 2022. Starring Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, Lily Sheen, with Neil Patrick Harris, and Tiffany Haddish
