Well, this one looks like it might have just jumped to my most anticipated movie of 2022. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a brand new movie starring Nicolas Cage as a version of himself and it looks absolutely brilliant.
Pedro Pascal, Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, Lily Sheen, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tiffany Haddish make up the rest of the cast of the movie which hits screens in April of next year.
The synopsis is as follows:
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: Nick Cage.
This looks like lots of fun. Tom Gormican directs from a screenplay he wrote with Kevin Etten.
The release date is set for 22nd April.
