In a new trailer for The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, Nicholas Cage appears as himself in the action-comedy about his real-life struggles.

Cage’s fictional agent, Martin, tries to get him a gig guest-starring on a Spanish-language soap opera, but the offer is quickly rescinded when the show’s producer finds out that Cage doesn’t speak Spanish. undeterred, Cage decides to go ahead with the gig anyway and makes a complete fool of himself.

AIn the flesh, Cage is a shell of his former self. He’s been drinking heavily and has gotten into debt with various people around him who want to control his life. A fan named Eddie takes notice of him at an interview, where he also reveals that he has a lucrative offer from one of their rivals for $1 million USD in exchange for a “tell-all” book about Cage’s life.

Cage says he was enraged when he first heard about the film. “I turned it down three or four times,” Cage told THR at SXSW.

A Gormican letter ultimately won him over.“But when I got Tom’s letter, then I thought, ‘OK, he’s not just trying to mock so-called Nick Cage; there is a real interest in some of the earlier work,’” he continued.

The Unbearable Weight Of Large Ability is a behind-the-scenes comedy about the making of “Housebound,” which was produced by Cage, alongside Mike Nilon, Kristin Burr, and Kevin Turen. The film will debut at SXSW on March 12 before becoming available in theaters on April 22.
