Back in August, it was announced that Nicolas Cage would be starring in a film for the production / distribution company A24 that is being produced by Ari Aster, who previously made the horror films Hereditary and Midsommar for A24… but this project isn’t horror. It’s a comedy. The project now has a title – Dream Scenario – and six actors have signed on to join Cage in the cast. They are Julianne Nicholson, who recently won an Emmy for her performance in Mare of Easttown; Dylan Baker (Trick ‘r Treat), Kate Berlant (Sorry to Bother You), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Dylan Gelula (First Girl I Loved), and Tim Meadows (The Ladies Man).
Deadline reports that Dream Scenario starts filming this month. The movie will be directed by Kristoffer Borgli from his own screenplay. Borgli made his feature directorial debut with the 2017 comedy Drib, which told “the inside story of an energy drink marketing ploy gone wrong”. He followed that up with the Norwegian comedy Sick of Myself, which has the following synopsis: “Increasingly overshadowed by her boyfriend’s recent rise to fame as a contemporary artist creating sculptures from stolen furniture, Signe hatches a vicious plan to reclaim her rightfully deserved attention within the milieu of Oslo’s cultural elite.”
Unfortunately, we don’t have a synopsis for Dream Scenario at this time. The details on this one are being kept under wraps.
Aster is producing the film with Lars Knudsen, under their Square Peg banner. Jacob Jaffke and Tyler Campellone are also producing Dream Scenario alongside A24.
Are you interested in seeing a comedy that’s produced by Ari Aster, distributed by A24, and stars this cast? Share your thoughts on Dream Scenario by leaving a comment below. I like the cast and that’s probably enough to get me to take a look at the movie regardless, but I really want to know what the story is.
