Nicolas Cage‘s latest movie, “Dream Scenario,” promises a transformation for the renowned actor, as he appears unrecognizable in a first-look image shared by A24 and the Toronto International Film Festival. The film is set to make its world premiere as the opening film for TIFF’s Platform Program next month.
In the released image, Cage is seen in a parking lot, sporting a full, grey beard, glasses, and a balding head of hair. The movie, described as a “surrealist satire-comedy” by festival executive Robyn Citizen, remains shrouded in mystery, with little information available about its plot and characters.

“Dream Scenario” is directed by Kristoffer Borgli and produced by Ari Aster (known for “Beau is Afraid“). Alongside Cage, the film features an impressive cast, including Michael Cera and Julianne Nicholson, as well as Dylan Baker, Tim Meadows, Dylan Gelula, and Kate Berlant, among others.
Cage’s role in “Dream Scenario” adds to his already packed roster of projects this year. The actor has starred in movies such as “Renfield,” “The Old Way,” and “Sympathy for the Devil,” showcasing his versatility and dedication to his craft. Additionally, he made a notable cameo as a version of Superman in the recent superhero movie “The Flash.”
Recently, Cage expressed his enthusiasm to collaborate with Owen Wilson, who named him as a dream costar. In return, Cage praised Wilson’s talent and recalled a memorable encounter with the “Haunted Mansion” star at a party. Cage noted that Wilson reminded him of the late Dennis Hopper, and the two Hollywood legends bonded over this observation while enjoying lemon tart.
As the Toronto International Film Festival approaches from September 7 to September 17, movie enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the world premiere of “Dream Scenario.” After its debut, the film is expected to release next year, and audiences are eager to witness Nicolas Cage‘s transformative performance in this enigmatic surreal comedy.
