Nicolas Cage to play Nicolas Cage in a movie about Nicolas Cage. It can't get more Nicolas Cagey than this.
Reports revealed that the film will follow Nicolas as he desperately tries to land a role in a Tarantino movie amid a strained relationship with his teenage daughter. It'll also show the 55-year-old actor buried in debt and accepting an offer to attend the birthday party of a Mexican billionaire super fan for $1 million.
Then there will be a twist in the film when Nicolas will be informed by the CIA that the billionaire is a drug cartel kingpin who has taken a presidential nominee's daughter hostage. Nicolas, will then, be recruited by the CIA to gather information, but the task will become complicated when the billionaire will invite Nicolas' daughter and ex-wife for a big reconciliation.
And soon after the news got out on the internet, Twitterati couldn't keep its calm. As always.
