Wilson Chapman editor Hot on the heels from making out with himself in this spring’s ludicrous “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” Nicolas Cage is now taking on another comedy role.

Beyond the genre, most details on the film are being kept under wraps.

Aster produces with Lars Knudsen under their Square Peg banner, while A24 will finance and produce the film. Jacob Jaffke and Tyler Campellone serve as additional producers.

A lot has happened to the horror genre since the last installment in the “Scream” franchise, 2011’s “Scream 4,” hit theaters. For one, slashers, as well as meta-commentary about them, aren’t as popular as they once were.

Amy Ryan is one of the best actors working today, period.
