The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Movie star Nick Cage must channel his iconic screen characters when he finds himself caught in-between a dangerous super-fan and a CIA agent. (IMDb) Tom Gormican directed the 2022 action comedy and co-wrote it with Kevin Etten, casting Nicolas Cage as a fictionalised, career-anxious version of himself who takes a million dollars to attend a wealthy superfan's birthday party and is promptly recruited by the CIA. Pedro Pascal plays the fan, Javi Gutiérrez, with Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Tiffany Haddish, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio and Neil Patrick Harris in support; the film premiered at South by Southwest in March 2022 and opened through Lionsgate on 22 April.

Rolex (unidentified model)

Worn by Nicolas Cage as Nicolas Cage. In the early therapy session with his daughter, Cage wears a real gold Rolex rather than the Casio: Hodinkee sees only the clasp and bracelet, reads it as seemingly a solid gold Submariner, and notes it never returns. The maker is secure from the source; the model is not. (Hodinkee)
