Nicolas Cage is set to star in and produce a comedy set at A24 called “Dream Scenario”, which will also be produced by “Midsommar” filmmaker Ari Aster.
Kristoffer Borgli, who directed the Cannes title from this year called “Sick of Myself,” will write and direct the film. However, plot details are being kept under wraps.

A24 will finance and produce “Dream Scenario.” Jacob Jaffke and Tyler Campellone will also produce alongside A24, and Aster and Lars Knudsen will produce for their Square Peg banner.
“Dream Scenario” marks the fourth time that A24 is teaming up with Aster’s Square Peg, including on his films “Hereditary” and “Midsommar” but also on the upcoming “Disappointment Blvd.” starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Cage most recently got to flex his comedic chops in the film “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” a meta comedy in which he played a version of himself. He’ll also be seen in the Western “Butcher’s Crossing” that’s making its premiere at TIFF next month, as well as the vampire movie “Renfield” in which Cage will play Dracula.
