Nicolas Cage (“Nick Cage”) enjoys a cocktail in Mallorca, Spain in THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT.-Photo Credit: Katalin Vermes/Lionsgate What happens when you write a movie screenplay that’s specific to only one actor … and the actor has no interest in your screenplay? It happened to Charlie Kaufman when he wrote Being John Malkovich; the production team had to do a great job of convincing Malkovich to play a version of himself in the movie. Apparently, the writing team of Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten were unfazed by that story when they conceived a film based on a fictionalized version of Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage. So they wrote The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and word of the script started to circulate around town. When it reached Cage’s ears … well, he wasn’t impressed. As with Malkovich, the filmmakers had to convince Cage of the movie’s value, and Cage talked to us about how he was finally won over.
