Ahead of the release of her Netflix rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle, produced by Sony Pictures, Leah McKendrick has landed a major new project with the studio: a biopic on global country-pop star Shania Twain, which she’ll direct from her own original script.

Plot details for the film, titled Shania, are being kept under wraps. We hear that McKendrick’s past work as a pop singer-songwriter was instrumental in landing her the gig.

Twain will produce alongside Amie Karp. Jessica Welch penned a previous script on Twain for the studio. The project is just the latest major music biopic for Sony, which released Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody through TriStar in December 2022 and is behind Sam Mendes’ forthcoming The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event.

A five-time Grammy Award winner, Twain has since the ’80s helped redefine country music for a global audience, paving the way for the genre-blending crossover sound shaping country and pop today. Her era-defining catalog includes timeless hits such as “Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One,” and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”

With more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Twain remains the top-selling female country-pop artist of all time. She also made history as the first artist ever to release three consecutive Diamond-certified albums.

Twain’s seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain, which is said to mark the most personal work of her career, is slated for release on July 24. She is repped by Scott Rodger and Leila Hebden at Maverick, CAA, and Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks.

McKendrick is a filmmaker who broke out with Scrambled, an egg-freezing dramedy that premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW before being released theatrically by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions in 2024. More recently, she got behind the camera as writer and director of Voicemails for Isabelle, the aforementioned rom-com for Netflix starring Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson, where she plays a supporting lead. Produced by Sony Pictures and Escape Artists, the film is slated for release on June 19.

McKendrick is repped by UTA, Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment, and McKuin Frankel Whitehead.

MONTREAL — Canada captain Alphonso Davies trained on his own Wednesday as the men’s national team continued preparations for the FIFA World Cup.

Davies, unlikely to play in Canada’s tournament-opener on June 12 due to a hamstring injury, jogged away from the main group and went through stretching exercises with a trainer at Centre Nutrilait, the practice facility of Major League Soccer club CF Montréal.

The Bayern Munich star joined midfielder Jacob Shaffelburg on return-to-play protocols as Canada continues to manage a growing list of injuries.

Defenders Moïse Bombito and Alfie Jones, meanwhile, joined midfielder Ali Ahmed in modified training.

After opening camp in Charlotte, N.C., 30th-ranked Canada is training in Montreal ahead of its final exhibition match before the World Cup against No. 59 Ireland at Stade Saputo on Friday.

The tournament co-hosts open the World Cup against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto before heading to Vancouver for group-stage matches against Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24.

Legendary Canadian broadcaster Chris Cuthbert was among the Hockey Hall of Fame's 2026 NHL media award recipients announced on Wednesday.

The Brampton, Ont., native was the latest recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for outstanding contributions as a hockey broadcaster.

"Chris Cuthbert has been a true professional and a wonderful link to hockey fans for many years,” said Chuck Kaiton, president of the NHL Broadcasters’ Association in a statement. “His exciting play-by-play has captivated audiences across Canada. He is well deserving of this award, and I look forward to presenting it to him in November.”

Cuthbert, 68, began his broadcasting career at Queen's University, where he was the radio voice of the Golden Gaels during the late 1970s. He'd go on to become one of the most recognizable voices in the sport, calling games for Hockey Night in Canada and on Sportsnet for more than 40 years.

He's been the recipient of three Gemini and two Canadian Screen awards for his work, which included the iconic call of the "golden goal" at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

The Foster Hewitt Memorial Award was first presented by the NHL Broadcasters’ Association in 1984, for recognition of members of the radio and television industry who have made outstanding contributions to their profession and to the game of hockey. The award was named after Foster Hewitt to honour the late "Voice of Hockey" in Canada.

Also receiving an award on Wednesday was Swedish hockey writer and U.S. correspondent Gunnar Nordstrom. He received the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for excellence in hockey journalism.
