“Game of Thrones” and “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal is set to join the meta Nicolas Cage film “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” at Lionsgate.
Cage stars in the film as actor Nicolas Cage who is desperate to get a role in a new Tarantino movie while also dealing with a mountain of debt and a strained relationship with his teenage daughter.
This Cage also occasionally talks to an egotistical 1990s version of himself who rides him for making too many crappy movies.
He soon finds himself forced to make an appearance at the birthday party of a Mexican billionaire fan (Pascal) who is actually a drug cartel kingpin and so Cage is recruited by the U.S. government to gather intelligence.
When the billionaire brings over Cage’s daughter and his ex-wife for a reconciliation, Cage takes on the role of a lifetime to save their lives.
Tom Gormican helms from a screenplay he co-wrote with Kevin Etten. The film is currently scheduled to begin production this fall.
