The Rest Is Entertainment

How to make a billion in showbiz

42 minutes | Tuesday, 21 May 2024

The Sunday Times rich list has been revealed but which are the names from the world of entertainment, and how have they made their money?

Cannes Film Festival is underway, and the world has seen for the first time Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis. A film long talked about and self-financed by the man himself, why has he had to put his hand in his own pocket, like Kevin Coster with Horizon: An American Saga, is it all vanity?

Plus, Have I Got News For You is soon to be on US screens. Does the history of UK formats trying to make it in American show it will be a success?
