Lionsgate has brought online the new trailer for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which is scheduled to open in theaters on April 22, 2022. You can watch the trailer on YouTube, and you’ll find new photos by scrolling down.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is rated R for language throughout, some sexual references, drug use, and violence.
The film stars Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage, who also serves as producer, four-time Golden Globe Award nominee Neil Patrick Harris, and Emmy Award winner Tiffany Haddish.
Nicolas Cage stars as… Nick Cage in the action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. 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: Nicolas Cage.
Directed by Tom Gormican, the film also stars Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, and Lily Sheen.
Written by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, the movie is produced by Nicolas Cage, Mike Nilon, Kristin Burr, and Kevin Turen.
Lionsgate is presenting a Saturn Films / Burr! Productions production.
