It’s out on the digital formats to own from today but here’s some news on next week’s physical release of one of the best movies of the year, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, the meta-movie led by Nicolas Cage in career-best form.
Lionsgate will release the movie on SteelBook, 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from 11 July and we have the full details below.
In this wildly entertaining, action-packed comedy, Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage plays… Nick Cage! Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalised version of Cage accepts a million-dollar offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take an unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and he must use his legendary acting skills, channeling his most iconic and beloved characters to become a real-life action hero.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas), Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones), Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, Night School), Sharon Horgan (Military Wives, Pulling), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Gone Girl) and Lily Mo Sheen.
