|  | | NICOLAS CAGE
Nicolas Cage plays twin brothers Charlie and Donald Kaufman in his new film Adaptation. He talks to Joe about acting opposite yourself, how he's split his career between art films and action movies and whether or not Hollywood has run out of stories to tell.
WHEN MEN MAKE FILMS ABOUT WOMEN
The Hours has won Best Drama at the Golden Globes and has been nominated for numerous Oscars and BAFTAs. Everyone, it seems, loves the film. But not writer Cherry Potter and Dr Tory Young. They argue that it's significant that a film about 3 women has been made by 3 men.
THE RING
The American re-make of The Ring is in cinemas next week it's one of many spin-offs from the original, which was a phenomenon in its home country of Japan. The story about a videotape that manages to kill everyone who watches it has spawned many sequels, a radio play and has become a cult. Antonia Quirke explores the reasons for its unprecedented success.
THE END OF TRADITIONAL ANIMATION
Disney's new film Treasure Planet was one of the biggest box office disappointments for a major animation in the history of American film. Combined with the similar failure of Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron, it seems the writing is on the wall for traditional animation. Compare this with the phenomenal success of digital cartoons like Shrek and Toy Story. Back Row looks at the consequences for the animation industry.
