Nicolas Cage Discusses Becoming a Meme and Releases New Film "Dream Scenario"

Nicolas Cage Embraces Meme Status for Promotional Interview of New Dark Comedy "Dream Scenario" in Theaters on November 10, Reflects On the Impact of His 'Memeification' on His Career.

• Nicolas Cage, in a new interview, acknowledges his status as a meme and discusses its impact on his career. Initially bothered by his 'memeification', Cage reconciles with the idea, hoping that the memes will motivate people to watch his films.
• Cage uses his experience as a meme in his upcoming film, 'Dream Scenario', where he plays a college professor who discovers he incidentally appears in the dreams of anonymous people, likening the character's situation to his real-life experiences of fame.
• Cage's latest films, including 'Dream Scenario' and 'Pig', have been personal, as they reflect his own experiences and feelings, marking a significant shift in his career. The actor argues that this shift is not a 'renaissance' but a 'rediscovery'.
• Having grown comfortable with fame, Cage states he prefers to stay home if he's not in a good mood, as he wouldn't want to disappoint fans by not signing autographs or taking pictures.
• Cage continues to purposely avoid engaging with social media to maintain an old-fashioned golden-age idea of what a film actor should be — one with limited public access.
