The first official trailer has now been released for the Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal-led super-meta dark comedy “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” which opens April 22nd.
Cage plays a fictionalized, highly-neurotic, anxiety-ridden version of himself who is hired to appear at the birthday party for a superfan and crime boss Javi (Pascal). But he’s also there to spy on Javi for the U.S. government.
Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffany Haddish, Sharon Horgan and Lily Sheen co-star in the Lionsgate project which follows on from a recent resurgence in the actor’s career. Tom Gormican directs from a script he co-wrote with Kevin Effen.
