Nicolas Cage will star in “Dream Scenario.”
The ‘Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ actor has signed on to star in the upcoming comedy, which is being directed by ‘Sick of Myself’ filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, Deadline reports.
The director will also write the screenplay, while Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen will produce under their Square Peg banner, along with A24 – who are also financing the film – Jacon Jaffke and Tyler Camellone.
Aside from being described as a comedy, details about the film’s plot are being kept under wraps.
After playing a version of himself in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Dracula in upcoming Renfield, Nicolas recently admitted he’s “excited” that he’s been offered more comedy roles recently.
However, the 58-year-old actor also wants to spread his wings further and would jump at the opportunity to star in a musical.
He said: “Right now I’m delighted to have comedy back on the menu. She hasn’t been around for, my goodness, 15 years. It’s nice that I might have the opportunity to do more comedy.
“But I’ve never done a musical before. That would be something I’d be curious about.”
However, the ‘Con Air’ star mainly wants to keep making indie dramas.
He added, “I just want to stick to the roots of indie drama. That’s my true passion, films like ‘Pig’ or ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ or ‘Joe’. ‘Bringing Out the Dead’ – I saw that recently. I have to say this might be the best film I’ve ever made.”
But the ‘Moonstruck’ star’s dream role is Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo.
He said: “I would love to play Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo because the character has a love of the ocean that I share with him.”
