Director Tom Gormican and Cage take IndieWire inside the making of an ambitious sequence that saw the star paying homage to the 1920 German Expressionist film he’s long hailed as a personal favorite.
“That’s become totally the obvious way to go now.”
The actor and his director explain the technology and motive behind his confrontation with his younger (and wilder!) self.
Christian Bale was another potential backup plan in case the “Face/Off” star declined to play himself.
Cage hopes “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” will remind studio executives of his massive comedy talent.
“That’ll make them drop their popcorn.”

“All the money I got for the movie studio, they put into the Tesla corporation.”
Pascal has long been a fan of his “Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” co-star’s signature “Cage rage.”
