Behind the scenes at the Cannes Film Festival, which wraps on Sunday after a 12-day run:
ADIEU, LEGOLAS: Blood, sex, blood, drugs, booze, blood, and then more blood... Orlando Bloom, as a cursing, womanising and gun-toting cop in the South African-set crime thriller " Zulu", seems intent on saying goodbye to Legolas the Elf and Will Turner, Pirate of the Caribbean.
Bloom co-stars with Forest Whitaker as two detectives tracing the source of a new methamphetamine drug that is causing havoc in the slums around Cape Town.
Directed by France's Jerome Salle, the movie is being given the accolade of closing out the festival on Sunday -- but the body count made critics wince at Saturday's press screening.
BITING DRAMA: TV and cinema are awash with vampire stories, so critics were surprised when quirky director Jim Jarmusch jumped on the bandwagon.
But surprise turned to pleasure at Friday night's press screening, where "Only Lovers Left Alive" got enthusiastic applause from a hard-nosed audience.
