Nicolas Cage’s Best Performances, Ranked
Few actors can claim the career variety that Nicolas Cage has found across four and a half decades. From the fresh face in Hollywood trying to escape nepotism, the indie darling, the rebel with a cause, the action icon, the VOD standard and the balanced indie and commercial artist he is today, Cage has never allowed himself to be boxed in, not even by his famous family name, Coppola.
His career is one of constant transformations, and just when audiences begin to get comfortable with the idea of who Nic Cage is, he turns around and changes course. He possesses an unquantifiable range that often leaves audiences surprised, or unsure how to react other than to make him part of meme culture and YouTube videos, which while frequently funny are often reductive, particularly as it has led...

The Most Powerful Women in Canadian Entertainment
As Donald Trump lobs 51st-state taunts and slaps tariffs on Canadian goods, the country’s top women in entertainment are responding the way any self-respecting hockey fan might — with elbows up. In time for THR’s second annual Women in Entertainment Canada summit, we present a new Power List spotlighting 45 trailblazers who are fighting back, breaking through and building the future of film, TV and music north of the border. From the force behind The Weeknd’s career to the activist-musician halting gravel mines, this year’s honorees are anything but polite when it comes to getting things done. On May 29 in Toronto, they’ll be celebrated at WIE Canada’s gala event, where The Handmaid’s Tale novelist Margaret Atwood will be the recipient of THR’s ICON Award. It’s all in support of a powerful mission — equity, opportunity and louder mics...
Good Show! 17 Series That Are Bringing L.A. Production Back
A pandemic, two strikes and massive wildfires have all wreaked havoc on Hollywood. Though recent data shows shooting in Los Angeles decreased by more than 22 percent from January to March compared with the same three-month period in 2024, these series, many of which have already been renewed for another season, are slowly putting a dent in that figure, choosing to film in L.A. rather than turn to such alternative locations as Atlanta and Vancouver.

Seeing Double? 25 Pairs of Celebrities Who Look Nearly Identical
Talk about seeing double.
With more than 8 billion people on Earth, it’s likely some people could have a doppelgänger somewhere in the world. But some people who look alike have also found their way into the spotlight.
Over the years, you may have had a pair of celebrities you accidentally mixed up, whether you incorrectly named them after seeing them in a movie, television show, music video or possibly out in public.
However, some people may be surprised at how many stars actually have similar facial structures, including Sarah Hyland and Mila Kunis, Will Ferrell and Chad Smith, Jennifer Connelly and Demi Moore, as well as Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill, Zach Braff and Dax Shepard, and Brittany Murphy and Lili Reinhart, among many others. Several celebrities have even joked about their fellow famous doppelgängers in interviews...

“NATO for News”: Is a Joint Effort by Media Companies the Way to Go in the Age of AI?
The impact of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, on the media and entertainment industries was a topic of debate at the Media & Telecoms 2025 & Beyond Conference in London on Tuesday. And some industry executives suggested that an alliance of media players could be the best strategy to protect copyright and open up opportunities for media companies in the AI age.
Organized by Deloitte and Enders Analysis, Tuesday’s event included a panel entitled “News and media in the AI age,” featuring panelists Anna Bateson, CEO of Guardian Media Group, Rich Caccappolo, CEO of DMG Media, Anna Jones CEO of the Telegraph Media Group, which has agreed to be acquired by RedBird, Jon Slade, the CEO of the Financial Times, and ITN CEO Rachel Corp.
Bateson emphasized that it was wrong to assume that a “compromise” on existing copyright and intellectual property...
Ben McKenzie on His Crypto Doc ‘Everyone Is Lying to You for Money’: A “Human Story About Trust”
If you still think of actor Ben McKenzie only as a guy who knows his way around the beautiful people of The O.C. or mainly as the star of Fox series Gotham, think again. Since the pandemic, he has become a vocal critic of cryptocurrency. His New York Times bestseller Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud, co-authored with journalist Jacob Silverman, raised eyebrows in 2023. And this week, McKenzie is likely to again cause debate when he world premieres his feature film directorial debut, Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, at SXSW London on Friday.
McKenzie wrote and directed the cinematic exposé on the world of cryptocurrency and produced it with Giorgio Angelini. Three years of filming took the star to New York, Austin, Miami, London, and El Salvador.
The documentary includes interviews with crypto poster boy Sam Bankman-Fried, conducted just months before the...

He will also develop a select portfolio of filmmaker-led series.
Madden has worked as both an executive and producer across film and high-end drama. “I’m very excited to work with Anne and Dan to build Netflix’s film business in the U.K.,” he said about his future role.
