Need another reason to check out MassiveTalent in theaters this weekend? Here's a big one! Watch Screen Rant break down just what makes Nicolas Cage the most interesting man in Hollywood:
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which arrives in theaters on April 22, sees Hollywood superstar Nicolas Cage playing a humorously warped version of himself. The script by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten requires him to take on a nearly penniless version of himself that hits a wall in his career and decides to attend a billionaire mega-fan birthday party.
Of course, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is far from the first time Cage has winked at the audience in his film credits, which number well over 100 film credits. Nicolas Cage is best known as someone for whom no role is too small - or too wacky. His captivating charisma makes every one of his movies a treat, but that's far from the only interesting thing about the icon.
Cage has put his heart and soul into every single one of his projects, but it's no wonder that he felt playing himself in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was one the trickier challenges he's taken on. After all, what character could be more complex and fascinating than he himself is? Even if it is a version of himself that is several degrees removed from his real life.
