10 INSANE Movies You Won't Believe Are Getting Made
2. Dream Scenario
Nicolas Cage has never met a deranged project he could bring himself to turn down, and the latest entry into his wonderfully diverse filmography is set to be A24's new dark comedy Dream Scenario.
Cage, rocking another surprising hairdo, plays a schlubby professor by the name of Paul Matthews who becomes an overnight celebrity after he starts appearing in everybody's dreams... for some reason.
The Black Mirror vibes are certainly strong from that vague logline alone, and paired with rising filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself), producer Ari Aster, and a crackerjack cast including Julianne Nicholson, Michael Cera, Tim Meadows, and Dylan Baker, there's a hell of a lot to be intrigued by here.
The insanity of mankind collectively seeing Nicolas Cage in their dreams and nightmares speaks for itself, and married to a grimly hilarious satire of fame should make this one of the most diverting films of the coming year.
Dream Scenario will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of its November 10 theatrical release.
