Hollywood star Nicolas Cage wasn\u2019t very keen on portraying himself in the action comedy movie, \u201cThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent\u201d, which will soon drop on Lionsgate Play.<\/p>\n
The movie, directed by duo Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, is a sincere, authentic, and hilarious love letter to the actor, and gives an entertaining take on the actor\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Talking about his initial reluctance to play the role, Cage said: \u201cI had no interest in playing myself in a movie. But then I received a very nice letter from Tom, and I read his script. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe first act really terrified me, and by the time I got to acts two and three, I thought Tom is taking us on an adventure that is really quite exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movie revolves around a fictionalised version of the actor who is forced to live up to his own legend, channelling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones.<\/p>\n
He further shared how Tom Gormican\u2019s intriguing and off-kilter ideas drew him in: \u201cI call Tom \u2018The Mind\u2019 because the film really is his fantasy, culled from perceptions in the media and on the internet, as well as blips in my personal life that have gone public.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s mixed with knowledge of interviews I\u2019ve done and things that have always interested me and drew me down this path. Essentially, the film is an imagination based on Tom\u2019s interpretation of what my life might be like.\u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent\u201d will be available on Lionsgate Play from August 12.<\/p>\n
