Nicolas Cage has finally reached levels of pop culture self awareness and meta genius that scientists previously didn’t believe was possible. As revealed in the new trailer below Cage is playing himself in an absurdly joyous  The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent.

The film sees the fictionalized Cage as a floundering mess struggling with the slow death of his Hollywood career and impending financial ruin. Forced to swallow his pride and accept a $1million payday to spend time with a mysterious ‘superfan’. Things quickly turn even more bonkers when the CIA also recruits Cage, hoping to turn his infamous on screen ‘talents’ into real life heroics.

Needless to say, seeing Cage shamelessly delivering a comically full blast performance that pokes relentless fun at every aspect of his flamboyant film work and near mythical real life ‘persona’ treads a truly exciting line between weird and wonderful.

Check out the trailer below for a brief sample of the Nicolas Cage IS Nicolas Cage madness that will grace cinema screens in the UK from 22nd April.
