skillzdadirecta Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Starring Nicholas Cage Quote Lionsgate, beating out several suitors such as HBO Max and Paramount, is in final negotiations to pick up 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. The Cage character is also under a mountain of debt and finds himself forced to make an appearance at the birthday party of a Mexican billionaire who happens to be a fan of Cage’s work and secretly hopes to show him a script on which he’s been working. While he bonds with the man, Cage is informed by the CIA that the billionaire is actually a drug cartel kingpin who has kidnapped the daughter of a Mexican presidential nominee and is recruited by the U.S. government to get intelligence. The situation spirals even more dramatically when the Mexican brings over Cage’s daughter and his ex-wife for a reconciliation, and when their lives are on the line, Cage takes on the role of a lifetime. I smell an Oscar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Someone needs to write a book about the making of this movie, and then Charlie Kaufman writes a screenplay based on that book, and it’s Adaptation 2 starring Nicolas Cage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
