Orlando Bloom hopes 'Pirates of the Caribbean' gets "everybody back" for new movie
With the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise headed for a potential reboot, actor has expressed hope that the gang gets back together, reported Deadline. The actor, who played the role of Will Turner in four of the five films in the franchise, said "the way to win" with a reboot is to reunite him with co-stars , and the rest of the cast. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Everything is in the writing, right? Everything is on the page, and I think there's definitely, I'm sure there's a way to create something," he said, adding, "I would personally love to see everybody back. I think the way to win on that one is to get everybody back. If they can, and if everybody wanted to go back." "My thing is, if the script was great and -- ideally it was everybody -- it'd be kind of like in for a penny, in for a pound, you know," added Bloom, reported Deadline. In May last year, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that Jeff Nathanson was working on a reboot of the franchise, separate from a spin-off project written by Christina Hodson and set to star Margot Robbie. Bloom also weighed in on the direction of the new film, saying, "What they're how to do it," Bloom said. "Do you bring in a female leading character that replicates Jack in some way? I don't know. The jury is out on how to do it again," reported Deadline. Bruckheimer shared this month that he thinks Depp "would do it" if the reboot is written well, but Knightley has distanced herself from the franchise after her experience on the Pirates movies. "The hours are insane. It's years of your life, you have no control over where you're filming, how long you're filming, what you're filming," said Knightley in November, reported Deadline. Meanwhile, Bloom is set to appear in 'The Cut', a thriller in which he plays an ex-boxer who suffered a defeat that ended his career as a champion in the ring. Then, when he "trains for redemption," a synopsis teases, an "obsession takes hold and reality unravels -- and he may be spiralling into something far more terrifying."

‘They bring humanity in the city': How hawkers charmed a French theatre director
The question of hawkers can divide a city along many lines, from social and political to economic and legal. But, when French writer-director Zazie Hayoun hears the call of hawkers, she 'loves their voices'. 'For me, they bring humanity in the city. I used to have a brother who imitated them very well. Unfortunately, my brother died long ago, when I was very young. I also like the image of hawkers, from knife sharpeners to people who are selling medicine. Even if the wares are not true sometimes, I think it is very charming,' she says. Using music, dance, puppetry, acrobatics and blending horror with comedy in the tradition of the 19th century French theater, Grand Guignol, the play delves into the lives of street hawkers through three original stories, The Secret, The Thief Rewarded and The Competition. 'I write according to what is happening around me, such as a hawker getting beaten by the police. I have been working many years in India and have experienced the realities of hawkers. When I came to Dhaka, Bangladesh, about four years ago, I could hear their voices in my flat. I thought that this is where I want to do the performance,' says Hayoun. When she talked about her plan for a play with the director of Alliance Francaise in Dhaka, he was encouraging. 'We organised auditions with artists. I was not, at the beginning, very sure about the results but now I am. The actors are brilliant, professional, hard working and meticulous,' she says. The play stars Imam Hossain, M S Rana, P.K. Fazal and Suraiya T Mou. The cast visits hawkers markets in the cities that they perform. The writer-director, herself, has interviewed a number of people in India and Bangladesh about their opinion of hawkers. 'Some people said they are useful but others said that they are cheats and were always trying to get more money. I have also heard some people, especially foreigners, say that they make a lot of noise,' she says. In many countries around the world, hawkers are a disappearing phenomenon. Hayoun recalls that, in her childhood in France, she would see hawkers especially around Christmas. 'They would come with a bunch of chocolate boxes. At the time, I used to wonder how they would start by selling you one box but, then, they would add another, and another but around 10 francs. At present, hawkers are an Asian phenomenon, though there are still many in Italy,' she says.
