A24’s Newest Film “Dream Scenario” Explores the Dreams of Nicolas Cage
In a thrilling move by A24, Kristopher Borgli’s “Dream Scenario” made its grand premiere at Midnight Madness. Following the success of “Dicks the Musical,” A24 continues to push boundaries with their latest project. This unique and self-satirical film is an ode to none other than Oscar winner Nicolas Cage himself.
Cage was instantly drawn to the project after reading the script and finding it “perfect on the page.” Comparing it to some of his most iconic movies like “Raising Arizona,” “Vampire’s Kiss,” and “Leaving Las Vegas,” Cage couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring this dreamy story to life.
The film revolves around Paul Matthews, brilliantly played by Cage, who mysteriously starts appearing in other people’s dreams. These appearances take on both sexual and brutal aspects, creating a powerful and thought-provoking spectacle. As Matthews becomes a social media sensation and meme, Cage couldn’t help but feel a personal connection to the character. After experiencing his fair share of memeification, Cage discussed his experiences with the now-infamous video titled “Nicolas Cage Loses His Shit,” which went viral and spawned countless memes and merchandise.
For Cage, “Dream Scenario” presented a unique opportunity to transform his own experiences into something creative and thought-provoking. The film was written by the talented Kristopher Borgli and produced by Ari Aster, adding even more excitement and anticipation to the mix.
For those eagerly awaiting its release, mark your calendars for November 10 when “Dream Scenario” will hit theaters. Get ready to delve deep into the dreamscape with Nicolas Cage, as A24 once again pushes the boundaries of filmmaking with this extraordinary creation. Stay tuned for more updates and be prepared to embark on a dreamlike journey like no other.
