Nic Cage keeps doing these interesting and weird movies and even though half of them are terrible I appreciate them.
Very excited for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent where Nic Cage plays himself playing a bunch of his previous roles in order to rescue his wife from a drug lord.

This actually looks great.
From the trailer seems Pig has multiple meanings in the movie.
Yes, there is an actual pig, but have a feeling a few of the humans will be revealed to be pigs in the informal definition of the word.
Count me in.

So, does the pig get it?
Nic Cage is seriously an enigma. His acting abilities basically have no end. He does well with schlock, with tentpoles, and with indies. Considering the reception this is getting, I'll probably be drawn to this in the same way I was drawn to Color Out of Space (which stars the campy Nic Cage and is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it).
Just got out of an early screening. Honestly kind of loved it. The absurdity of the premise and some of the events definitely lead to a few laughs. There was one pretty good classic Cage moment in there as well. Not sure if Cage enhanced or detracted from the character at the end of the day by his vary presence, but he is certainly more subdued for most of the film. Movie had a lot of heart and was certainly more down to earth and contemplative than the trailer would make you believe (as most reviews have been saying).
For those wondering about the Pig and any potentially disturbing content concerning her

Without giving too much away, only depicted violence against her is when she is being dragged away squealing early in the film. Only in the film for about 5ish minutes so don't go in expecting tons of her.
He's got some serious acting chops.
Can't find anything on if this is available on VOD on the 16th, anyone else know?
I'd love to see this in theaters but my fiance is still nervous to go back to them even though we're both vaccinated.

Several of the reviews are calling it Cage's best performance in a long time.
Thanks, much appreciated. Disturbing animal content is one of the few things I don't want to see in fiction.
Yeah, it sounds really exciting. I'm definitely checking this out.
Oddly enough one of the theaters in town will be showing the movie this weekend. Figured this would have been a super limited/art house release. May very well see it.
Yeah haven't seen a theater count, but seems to be a couple hundred theater (400-800) type release at minimum. Playing at nine theaters around me in a admittedly larger than average film culture city (Austin). Sure lack of programming (for obvious reasons) for larger theaters help get movies like this more screens.
Happy to see it since people should watch this movie (it's really good!) and being accessible on many locations helps a bunch with that.
It's being called one of the best films of the year and Cage's best performance in like a decade.
When one of his most notable roles of that decade is one where he doesn't speak and just beats up possessed animatronics, you know that means a lot.
I'd say his roles in Mandy, Into the Spider-Verse and A Color Out Of Space were more notable. He still makes good films among the schlock
