Nicolas Cage was almost unrecognizable when he was first spotted on the Toronto set of his upcoming movie.

Produced by A24, the film is called Dream Scenario, and although Deadline has reported it to be a comedy, no other details about the premise have been made public.

The 58-year-old movie star wore a gray bear and a large bald prosthesis, and disappeared even further in character through glasses.

He was spotted this Friday filming a scene at the entrance of a movie theater with his co-star Julianne Nicholson, who recently won an Emmy for Mare Of Easttown.

Dream Scenario is written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, whose previous work included the dramedy film Sick Of Myself set in his native Norway.

The new film counts Ari Aster, the director of buzzing horror films like Midsommar and Hereditary, as one of its producers.

Nicolas recently parodied himself in the comedy The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, also starring Mandalorian heartthrob Pedro Pascal.

The fictionalized version of him in this movie agrees to go to a birthday party for a Mexican billionaire big enough to pay a million dollars for the privilege.

Nicolas agrees to the arrangement without much enthusiasm, and his decision to do so lands him in the middle of an action-comedy subplot.

The billionaire, played by Pedro, kidnaps Nicolas’ daughter and wife to get renditions of the movie star.

Pedro and Nicolas starred amid a top cast that included Catastrophe star Sharon Horgan and How I Met Your Mother scene stealer Neil Patrick Harris.

The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent opened in April this year to poor box office results, but a warm 86% critical response to Rotten tomatoes.
