in the picture

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'well informed cast' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'for a movie' is the wordplay.
'for a' becomes 'inthe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'movie' becomes 'picture' (synonyms).
'inthe'+'picture'='IN THE PICTURE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the picture that I've seen before include "where stars may be seen?" , "Film star is" , "what the subject of a portrait must be" , "Knowing" , "stars' location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
