Cover-Up is a political thriller Documentary that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. Urgent and deeply reported, Cover-Up is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence — revealing a cycle of impunity in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, Cover-Up captures the power and process of investigative journalism.

A new trailer for Disney and Pixar’s highly anticipated original animated comedy “Hoppers” debuts today.

The all-star ensemble features the voices of Meryl Streep (Insect Queen), Dave Franco (Titus), Kathy Najimy (Dr. Sam), Eduardo Franco (Loaf), Melissa Villaseñor (Ellen), Ego Nwodim (Fish Queen), Vanessa Bayer (Diane), Sam Richardson (Conner), Aparna Nancherla (Nisha), Nichole Sakura (Reptile Queens), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Bird King), Steve Purcell (Amphibian King), Karen Huie (Grandma Tanaka) and Tom Law (Tom Lizard), along with previously announced voice cast members Piper Curda (Mabel), Bobby Moynihan (King George) and Jon Hamm (Mayor Jerry).

“We have assembled a legendary cast for ‘Hoppers,’ and the voice talent really gave the film all they had. Be it uproarious humor, heartfelt emotion or crazy animal noises, they delivered beyond our expectations,” stated director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle.

The trailer provides a closer look at the animated comedy adventure which introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals. Using the technology, Mabel uncovers mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.

“Hoppers” features the voice of Bobby Moynihan as King George, an undeniably optimistic, kind and larger-than-life beaver who is the leader of the pond and king of the mammals. Jon Hamm voices Mayor Jerry, a politician running for reelection in Beaverton. Under his shiny, perfectly coiffed hair and matching public persona, Jerry is losing his cool over the one thing he can’t control: Mabel.

“Hoppers” is directed by Daniel Chong (“We Bare Bears”), produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle (“Incredibles 2”) and features an original score by composer Mark Mothersbaugh (“Thor: Ragnarok”). The film opens exclusively in theatres on March 6, 2026.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that Just for Entertainment and City Lights Entertainment announces today that Their Master’s Voice, an impressive and unclassifiable show starring John Malkovich, is coming to Canada. It is a great privilege to welcome this true legend on stage as part of his world tour that will take him across Europe and North America.

Their Master’s Voice will be presented at Meridian Hall in Toronto on October 7, 2026, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts on October 9, 2026, and Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on October 10, 2026.

In this internationally acclaimed work set in 1725, John Malkovich is joined on stage by two opera singers, an actress, an ensemble of baroque musicians, and a 12-voice choir. Commissioned by the Monte Carlo Opera, this spectacular show was also a triumph at the Royal Opera of Versailles and at Staatsoper in Vienna.

John Malkovich, known worldwide for his personality and unique voice, plays the famous Nicola Porpora, composer of 40 operas and singing teacher to the two most dazzling castrati of their time, Farinelli and Caffarelli. Brutally confronted with their egos, Porpora explores the limits of creativity with them.

This role is perfectly suited to John Malkovich, an iconoclastic artist who has appeared in more than 70 films, including Dangerous Liaisons, in which he played the unforgettable Valmont, and Being John Malkovich, in which he played a satirical version of himself. Always on the lookout for daring projects, he now finds himself in Their Master’s Voice, an original production combining brilliant dialogue, flamboyant costumes, and the greatest arias of the Baroque era’s castrati.

The show is the creation of Michael Sturminger, a director whose passion is to build new bridges between classical music and contemporary theater. Partners in this sophisticated artistic endeavor, Sturminger and Malkovich have collaborated in the past, notably on the 2014 film Casanova Variations.

Their Master’s Voice is a brilliant fusion of Baroque opera and witty theatricality, sure to delight those who have always dreamed of seeing the great John Malkovich on stage.
