Nicolas Cage stars as… Nick Cage in the action-comedy ‘TheUnbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ and we have the new red-band trailer for you ahead of the SXSW premiere in Austin! This is one we have had circled on our calendars since it was announced.
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. Along with Pascal and Haddish film also stars Neil Patrick Harris. We are in for a real treat!
While Massive Weight will premiere at SXSW, Lionsgate will release the film in theaters everywhere on April 22.
