If there was ever an actor who found himself tripped up by success, it’s Russell Crowe. The wild commercial and critical acclaim Crowe received for Gladiator 22 years ago threw him down a hole that at times seemed inescapable. For years, he found himself chasing Oscars in a series of dismal, middlebrow thrillers that existed for the pleasure of nobody at all. Nobody remembers State of Play fondly. Or Body of Lies or The Next Three Days. Or Proof of Life, for that matter.And yet, look at him now. It has just been reported…

Well, if you’re still wondering about its status and whether Cage will star in it, producer Jerry Bruckheimer has offered an update.A few years ago,…

It’s been 15 years since Nicolas Cage partnered up with Diane Kruger and Justin Bartha to solve an implausible mystery, with most fans (and the actor himself) resigning themselves to the fact National Treasure 3 would never happen, misery that seemed to be compounded even further when Bartha was announced to be returning for the Disney Plus sequel series. The two far-fetched adventures retain a huge amount of love and adulation, but Cage sounded fairly certain while on the press circuit promoting The Unbearable…
