Nic Cage is Nick Cage in first images from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

December 13, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has released the first images from the upcoming action comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent which sees Nicolas Cage taking on what may be his craziest role yet: Nick Cage, a fictionalized version of himself who finds his life taking an unexpected turn when he’s recruited by the CIA after receiving a $1 million offer to attend the party of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal).

Nicolas Cage stars as… Nick Cage in the action-comedy “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.” Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters 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: Nicolas Cage.
