Credibility Rater:

1. Official: Lionsgate. That’s it. No one else will have official word but them. All Lionsgate press releases come through their official twitter: @LionsgateNews.
2. Best for Unofficial Casting News: THR, Deadline, Variety. These are vetted entertainment news sources with solid contacts in the industry. They will be some of the first to report when an offer is made to an actor.
