Nicolas Cage may be doing a special film project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is in the final negotiations to play the lead role in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, about the life of none other than Nicolas Cage. Nicolas is of course in the race for the role of Nicolas Cage.
The film script is about Nicolas Cage who desperately wants a role in a new Tarantino film and at the same time lives at odds with his teenage daughter. He must also deal in his head with a selfish version of himself. He often breaks it down because he makes too many worthless films and is no longer a star.
Moreover, the Nicolas film has huge debts and eventually joins a Mexican billionaire, who turns out to be a drug lord. The CIA wants to get hold of him through Nicolas and that is how he gets the role of his life.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent must contain all kinds of references to old films by Nicolas.
