IndieWire‘s Eric Kohn has posted an exclusive peek at an unfortunately discarded sequence in Tom Gormican’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
We all know that Nicolas Cage plays a meta-fictionalized version of himself…a guy who feels tormented or at least needled by a feeling that he hasn’t constructively built on the success of his ’80s and ’90s films. Here, in a sequence that didn’t make Gormican’s final cut, Cage confronts his inner doppelganger amid the darkly impressionist environment of Robert Wiene‘s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (’20).
A UHD version of Gormican’s film is rent-streaming for $5.99.
