Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the 43-year-old actor said he has no plans to step into Indiana Jones’s boots, which have belonged to Harrison Ford since 1981.Revealing the reason behind his decision to steer clear of the franchise, Pratt blamed Ford’s past comments and said they scared him to even consider taking on the role in the future.“All I know is I once saw a quote from Harrison Ford … and I don’t even know if it was really him, but it was enough to scare me, that was like, ‘When I die, Indiana Jones dies,'” he said in the podcast released Tuesday.“I’m like, ‘Am I gonna, like, get haunted by the ghost of Harrison Ford one day when he dies if I play…?'”Pratt is seemingly referring to Ford’s 2019 interview on The Today Show, where he said, “Don’t you get it? I’m Indiana Jones. When I’m gone, he’s gone.

Elsa Keslassy International CorrespondentIsabelle Adjani has been under formal investigation for alleged fraud relating to hundreds of thousands of dollars of business expenses since October 2020, a judicial source confirmed to Variety on Monday.The investigation stems from a police complaint filed by a former business associate, Sebastien G., in 2015, according to the French national newspaper Liberation which was first to report the story. Variety has contacted Adjani’s lawyer, Olivier Pardo, for comment.According to the story published in Liberation, the case dates back to 2011 when Adjani hired Sebastien G. as a strategy consultant to help her run her production company, Isia Films.
Sebastien G. allegedly obtained a credit line for Adjani as well as an American Express card on which she charged €364,000 ($385,400) over a period of 13 months, per the French report. Sebastien G.
said he was fired days after he took the card back from Adjani. He said also he lent her €157,000 ($166,230) which she didn’t pay back. After he had some of Adjani’s assets seized in relation to her debts, she filed a lawsuit accusing him of abuse of corporate assets.
The case was eventually dropped. Sebastien G. then filed a police complaint in 2015 accusing Adjani to have produced fake payment receipts for the €157,000 she was supposed to pay him back.
The complaint also involves Mimi Marchand, head of the news agency Bestimage, who allegedly helped Adjani produce these payments receipts. Once the formal investigation is completed, a judge will decide whether to drop the case or put Adjani on trial.Adjani’s latest film, “Petra Van Kant,” directed by Francois Ozon, opens this week in France. Inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s cult film

Québec Bill 96 language law places local gaming industry at risk
Ubisoft Montreal, Warner Brothers Games Montreal, Eidos Montréal and Behaviour Interactive are just some of the studios based in Québec.An anonymous source speaking to CBC revealed some of the growing concerns among non-native industry workers in Québec.“You already see it, with some people who are looking at Bill 96 and saying ‘Ok, it’s time for me to pack up and leave.’” The source then went on to say, “…some international developers learn English just to work in the sector. Having to learn French on top of that might be a bridge too far for some, when they can easily get a job in Ontario or Vancouver instead, where the gaming industry is rapidly growing.”For example, one part of the bill states that immigrants who have lived in Québec for over six months will have to access government services through French.Speaking to CBC, Québec’s Office for the Protection of the French Language responded to concerns with “All sectors must contribute to the effort to ensure the sustainability of our official and common language.”According to the article, Québec is also experiencing a shortage of video game industry workers and local Francophone graduates are being lured to California and Sweden by better job offers.
