Nicolas Cage is the only Nicolas Cage, and he will never forget it. His latest movie, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent sees him trying to escape from a mob boss (who is also Nic Cage’s number one fan).
Nic Cage is a unique actor of a different generation. His acting style is not controversial, but it is definitely one of a kind. Cage is known for being the most popular actor in showbusiness. He has been known to make his performances to 11 o’clock. Cage is sometimes criticized for not being a good actor. Others see it differently.
Cage seems to be on the rise after some setbacks, including owing the IRS $6.3 million in property taxes and getting divorced from his fifth wife. Cage was able to get out of debt by making four movies per year. While some of the movies were directly to DVD, the actor stated that he did not phone in his performances in interviews with GQ.
Cage has won a lot of admirers-his Reddit AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) received more questions than the former President Barack Obama’s. Director/writer duo Tom Gormican (and Kevin Etten) appear to be two of them. Cage was the only actor they could have in the film’s script. They sold the script to studios, and Lionsgate bought it before they even inquired if Cage was on board.
Although Cage initially hesitated, he eventually agreed to the film which celebrates his career. Cage portrays a more extreme version of himself. He deals with personal issues and accepts a one-million dollar contract to appear on the birthday party of a superfan on a Croatian Island. Pedro Pascal plays the superfan. Later, it is revealed that the superfan is a drug kingpin being pursued by CIA agents. Much to Pascal’s dismay, the CIA recruits Cage.
Cage’s real life is not depicted in the movie. Cage is not actually married to his daughter.
The trailer shows that the film has some similarities to real life, however. The trailer mentions Cage’s roles in movies and even a younger Cage. Verge interviewed Tom Gormican, director of the film. He had an intriguing idea for the film.
It currently has a 96% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. This makes it one of the most anticipated films this year. Cage seems to be proud of the film, and that it has rekindled his passion for dramatic acting. He mentioned at the film’s premier that he wanted to do a musical next. We’re open to whatever the next step may be. We know that it will be entertaining at the very minimum.
