According to THR, “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” the aforementioned film starring Cage, will arrive in theaters on March 19, 2021. Yes, the film does actually star Cage playing a version of himself in a film that finds the fictional Cage on the hunt for a role in a Quentin Tarantino movie, while also dealing with the strained relationship with his teenage daughter.

So, there’s a chance this date could change, once again. We’ll just have to wait and see.
