Matt Damon is hard at work on his upcoming movie Oppenheimer!

enthusiastically agree with this assessment. The riotous comedy is something of a “Cage Your Enthusiasm.” Like Larry David on the long-running HBO series, Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself who can’t do anything right. Nic’s career has plateaued, he’s hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and his marriage has crumbled — he lives away from his wife (Sharon Horgan) and daughter (Lily Mo Sheen) in the Sunset Towers Hotel and downs whiskey like water. So when his agent (Neil Patrick Harris) gets a $1 million offer for Cage to fly to Mallorca and spend a weekend with a wealthy fan, Javier (Pedro Pascal), the actor has no choice but to hop on a plane to Spain.Soon after arriving, however, he learns that two FBI agents (Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz) are on the hunt for his Spanish host because they believe he’s kidnapped the daughter of a political candidate.Says Haddish to Cage: “I loved you in ‘Croods 2’!” There are so many delicious cracks at his erratic résumé: “Gone in 60 Seconds,” “Face/Off,” “The Rock,” “National Treasure,” they’re all in here. Pascal — whose sensitive, goofy performance is a surprise — gives an emotional speech about how he and his father were brought together by “Guarding Tess.” Hilarious.

call him a mere “actor,” folks! — back on the talk-show circuit for the first time in 14 years, promoting his “Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.” The “Leaving Las Vegas” Oscar winner, 58, stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday to reveal the truth behind rumors that have circled the cult icon for years. Kimmel, 54, asked Cage about the story of him gambling at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas about 20 years ago with just $200.Cage explained that he played roulette at the casino and the money turned into 20,000 big ones.While trying his lucky hand at the roulette wheel, he decided to keep playing the same numbers.

After “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” director Robert Eggers brings his passion for meticulous historical recreation and his interest in the (often tortured) psyches of past generations to the violent and epic world of Vikings in “The Northman” (read our review). Unlike actor Alexander Skarsgård, who plays the film’s eponymous hero (read our interview with the actor here), Eggers was never particularly inspired by these ruthless people before the idea for the movie was suggested to him — which only makes his achievement on “The Northman” more impressive.

Everything was going to go your way,» the 58-year-old actor recalled of the night that took place two decades ago. «Every number I chose, and I often would choose the same number, it kept winning.
