Following the huge commercial success of his last venture, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, in which he played a fictionalized version of himself, Nick Cage, the actor has secured the lead role in the upcoming comedy-drama film Dream Scenario.
The new movie, which is produced by the entertainment company, A24, is set to premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which holds from September 7 to September 17. It is directed by Kristoffer Borgli, who also wrote the script, and features other casts, including Michael Cera, Dylan Baker, Tim Meadows, Dylan Gelula, and Lily Gao, while Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen serve as the film’s co-producers.

The 59-year-old was captured on the movie set, showcasing a bald head for his character. He sported beige trousers, a khaki fleece, and a coordinating khaki coat, which he complemented with slim glasses while standing casually with his hands in his pockets.

The Face/Off star has been quite busy this year as he has starred in several movies such as Renfield, The Old Way, and Sympathy for the Devil. He also made a brief cameo as a version of Superman in the DC superhero movie, The Flash.
Cage also has other upcoming film projects this year, which include Arcadian, Lords of War, The Retirement Plan, and The Surfer. He is also poised to co-produce and star in Osgood Perkins’ psychological thriller Longlegs, which will be co-directed by Jason Cloth.
