Nicholas Cage stars as himself in a new trailer for the action-comedy film, The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent. Directed by Tom Gormican, the movie follows a fictionalized version of Cage, who, rather than being wealthy and successful, can’t find any acting jobs and is on the brink of financial ruin. After being persuaded by his agent, Cage accepts an offer to attend a superfan’s birthday party in exchange for $1 million USD. While he ends up befriending the fan on his private island in Spain, things take a turn when he’s contacted by the CIA and recruited for a clandestine mission. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter at SXSW, Cage revealed that he was initially offended when he learned about the movie. “I turned it down three or four times,” Cage said. A letter from Gor...

With the highly-anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series set to premiere on Disney+ this May, Star Wars staples Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen — who are both reprising their roles as Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader after 17 years — spoke to EW about reuniting after almost two decades, the significance of the series and how it all came about. In the EW cover story, McGregor explained that the appreciation for the Star Wars prequels, which arrived years after the initial premieres, made him realize the “mind-blowing” aspects of filming the trilogy. He began to openly express his interest in returning to the franchise, and a meeting between him and Lucasfilm was eventually set up. “They just said, ‘Look, we’ve read that you said you’d be happy to do it. We just want to know if you mea...
