Cage plays himself in Tom Gormican’s action comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (15).

A cash-strapped Nicolas Cage agrees to make a paid appearance at a billionaire super-fan's birthday party, but is really an informant for the CIA since the billionaire fan is a drug kingpin and gets cast in a Tarantino movie.

Mark Gallagher, cinema manager, said: “Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive and last time I checked it had a 96 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 51 reviews.
