The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (can there be anything more Cage-like?), The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The meta movie project has a script by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, with Gormican attached to direct.

Cage, if deals close, would star as actor Nicolas Cage. The character is desperate to get a role in a new Tarantino movie while also dealing with a strained relationship with his teenage daughter. He also occasionally talks to an egotistical 1990s version of himself who rides him for making too many crappy movies and for not being a star anymore.

Cage gonna Cage

 

[Atrus]

Might turn out really well given how crazy Cage’s personality comes off as.

Jean-Claude Van Damme gave a pretty damn good performance playing himself in JCVD.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I liked Mandy.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Acting doesn't get better than this.

 

[Grinchy]

Sounds pretty good.

 

[triplestation]

yes

 

[Hinedorf]

My wife's favorite movies are National Treasure 1 and 2..... if those shit movies are on TV I'll know the minute I hear their shit soundtracks. Granted I don't hate these movies but every time she watches she asks the question "Why didn't they ever make a third movie?!"

The pictures/gifs here sum it up pretty sufficiently

 

[MisterHero]

did they ever finish that movie where his comic book gets stolen

 

[Shifty]

Unexpected choice for the role. He's got big boots to fill.

 

[Tesseract]

face/on

They should name the movie “Nicolas Cage.”

 

[autoduelist]

My wife asked me last night whether it was Nick Cage or Brendan Fraiser I loved [she hates both]. I answered yes.

[DESTROYA]

Is it going to be called Nicolas’s Cage?

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

They should name the movie “Nicolas Cage.”

UNCAGED: A Nicolas Kim Coppola Story.

He could pull this off. He's been in a lot of crap, but it's not like he doesn't have the skill to turn good material into good work.

I think the truth is that Nicolas Cage puts an amount of effort into his work that is commensurate with what the final movie will be. I haven't seen him give a bad performance in a good movie, and I haven't seen him give a good performance in a bad movie.

 

[Cleared_Hot]

How TF did they convince him to do this... Oh right it's Nicolas Cage. Can't wait!!!

 

[The Brooklyn Brawler]

Wonder how much he is getting as a Nicolas wage

 

[Starlight Lotice]

So he's up for Gemini Man 2?

 

[Gargus]

Glad he is still around. Just watched wild at hear last night with him.

He started out playing small stuff, then got huge, then dissapeared, and now is making a big come back again in smaller stuff. Every damn day I see something about a new movie he is in. I dont think he will ever really go away and I'm ok with that. I tend to like his smaller and weird roles in strange movies the best. Put him in a big budget movie or something mainstream and I dont care for it as much.

Might turn out really well given how crazy Cage’s personality comes off as.

Jean-Claude Van Damme gave a pretty damn good performance playing himself in JCVD.

I really liked him in Jean claude van Johnson. That was pretty damn entertaining. He was himself in it......kind of.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Seems like an Old-Skool pitch, could be outstanding...

[Pagusas]

Has Cage and Keanu Reeves ever done a movie together?
