stated he has not been approached to star as Harry Potter's nemesis Lord
Voldemort in Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire.

'BBCi Films' reports that Martin Freeman (Tim in TV's The Office) is set
to take the lead role of Arthur Dent in the movie version of The
Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Bill Nighy (Love Actually, right) has also been cast in the long-delayed movie
as alien planet designer Slartibartfast.
Nighy: "I'm a big fan of the book and the people who are making it are
very cool people and I think they're going to do a good job. It's a
really good script. It's really, really faithful [to the book]. All the
jokes are there and they're big fat jokes. It's wonderful."
"And with all the technology we have now, it can not only be a big
satisfying comedy but I figure it could be quite exciting as well."
THE BOURNE SUPREMACY
Actress Julia Stiles (Save The Last Dance For Me) has a much bigger part
to play in The Bourne Supremacy, after having just a small role in the
original movie.
Stiles: "I get to be interrogated by Joan Allen. Jason Bourne [Matt
Damon's character] is still sort of tormented mentally by his experience
working for the CIA. He's still on the run and the CIA is tracking him
down."
"But they think that I was in cahoots with him because I'm the only one
that survived when my boss, played by Chris Cooper, died. It's exciting
and I'm looking forward to it."
DIE HARD 4
'USA Today' has interviewed Bruce Willis about Die Hard 4, which he is
still committed to star in. Willis: "We're working on it. 'Fox' wants to
do it. I want to do it. It depends on the script."
"After the first Die Hard, I said I wasn't going to do any more Die
Hard's, and I did two more. So I don't make predictions anymore. If they
get the script right and it seems like an interesting story..."
"It's hard today to do. The whole Die Hard trilogy so far has been based
on some element of terrorism, and it's difficult in today's world to do
stories that fictionally portray terrorism."
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN II
Orlando Bloom (right) has told 'Teen Hollywood' that he's very happy to reprise
his Pirates Of The Caribbean role for a sequel because it will mean
getting away from the British winter.
Bloom: "I can't cope with short, cold days. In England it gets dark
early, so I prefer summer. I'll be heading back to Caribbean to film
with Johnny Depp soon, which is cool. I have no complaints about working
in the Caribbean! On the first film they took me out there early and I
didn't start shooting my scenes for a while, so I felt like I was on
holiday."

THE POLAR EXPRESS
A photo of Tom Hanks in director/co-writer Robert Zemeckis' The Polar
Express, an adaptation of the children's book by Chris Van Allsburg, has
appeared in the latest issue of 'Entertainment Weekly'.
Zemeckis is employing motion-capture technology to place Hanks inside
what he calls a "moving painting" version of Allsburg's award-winning
1985 book.
Hanks didn't have to wear a conductor costume on the set - just a
leotard festooned with infrared-beam receptors and some 165 freckle-like
reflective dots glued to his face. Zemeckis: "It's not animation. It's
got all the subtlety and warmth of a human performance."
THE SECRET WINDOW
Screenwriter David Koepp (The Panic Room) is adapting and directing this
