So if like me, you aren't a fan of
Penelope Cruz, than beside crazy
Johnny Depp, you will at least have some lovely new faces to look at in
Disney's sequel "
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". Producer
Jerry Bruckheimer and director
Rob Marshall have selected young
Sam Claflin to star in the key role of Philip, a youthful missionary.

Britain's own
Sam Claflin has graduated at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and you will be seeing him in the historical mini-series "
The Pillars of the Earth" over at
Starz this summer. Beside him, another new member of the "Pirates" cast is French actress
Astrid Berges-Frisbey in the role of Syrena. Her character in "
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" will actually be a mermaid, which sounds very interesting.

Not a Cruz fan either, Dez.
ReplyDeleteNo? Glad to hear that :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Penelope Cruz, she was great in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". :-P :-)
ReplyDeleteooo mermaids. that does sound interesting. can't wait.
ReplyDeleteShe would make a great looking mermaid for sure.. ;)
ReplyDeleteyep, Kristin and Jaccsy, we haven't seen many mermaids in the movies so far, so this could be really an interesting sight for sore eyes :)
ReplyDeleteBring back Gore Verbinski! :)
ReplyDeleteeh, Neb, I share your lack of trust in Rob Marshall's direction :( He has never made a movie which wasn't bland and cold.
ReplyDeleteMermaids...nice addition
ReplyDeleteI am a Depp and Pirate fan, just not a Cruz fan.
Glad you like the news, Avalon.
ReplyDeleteThat Sam Claflin makes me think of a young Orlando Bloom. Guess he'll be playing the young 'still-wet-behind-the-ears' foil for Capt. Jack in this one, eh?
ReplyDeleteI have just watched this movie. it's so amazing and this is the first time I become crazy for newbies. Sam & Astrid are really a very cute couple. Their love is very romantic
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Nguyen, here at HOLLYWOOD SPY we really love and support Sam Claflin!
