Nicolas Cage on Why He'll Never See The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Sep 15 2021
After several decades of putting on some of film's most unforgettable performances, Nicolas Cage is set to take on his most enigmatic role yet...Nicolas Cage. In director Tom Gormican's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Cage plays himself, down on his luck and accepting $1 million to attend the birthday party of a billionaire fan (Pedro Pascal), who just also happens to be a ruthless drug lord. Everything, as you would expect, very quickly spirals out of control. Although Unbearable Weight doesn't premiere until April 2022, there aren't many moments where I'm not thinking about it. So when I recently sat down with Cage to discuss his gonzo post-apocalyptic Samurai-Western with filmmaker Sion Sono, Prisoners of the Ghostland, I also asked how he jumped from a wildly eclectic string of films—which also includes Willy's Wonderland and Pig—into playing himself. The answer, apparently, was playing a version of himself that he never, ever wants to see on screen.
