Benedict cumberbatch to stop time in new role

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has been
roped in for an adaptation of Matt Haig's forthcoming novel where he will essay the role of a time stopper.
Following his role in Marvel Cinematic Universe movie "Doctor Strange", the 40-yearold will be seen in another sci-fl film, which
is based on the book "How To Stop Time", reports hollywoodreportercom.
The actor will star in and produce the adaptation through his SunnyMarch banner. Cumberbatch‘s own SunnyMarch banner has teamed with StudioCanal to pick up the film rights to "How to Stop Time", the forthcoming book from Haig, who has also penned "A
Boy Called Christmas", "The Last Family in England" and "The Radleys".
The actor will play Tom Hazard, a man who may look like an ordinary 41-year-old but, owing to an extremely rare condition, has been alive for centuries.
"The prospect of Benedict Cumberbatch playing Tom Hazard is a hugely exciting one and I could not be happier about working with Adam and Jamie, and to be reunited with StudioCanal," said Haig.

Who meet trump?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet US President Donald Trump on March 14, the German government confirmed on Friday. When asked about media reports of the Merkel-Trump meeting, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said “we do not deny it", adding more details will be given at "appropriate time". The White House on Friday also confirmed the visit. It will be Merkel‘s first trip to the US after Trump took office, Xinhua news agency reported. Trump, during his election campaign, had publicly criticised Merkel and Germany's refugee policy as a "catastrophic failure" and "chaos".

The critics indicated a bumpy start for the ties between Berlin and Washington.
Last month, Merkel hosted the visit of US Vice President Mike Pence at Munich Security Conference, in the southeast German city. Merkel then said world conflicts require
"joint efforts", which was seen as a gentle reminder to Trump's unilateralism and antiglobalisation policies.
Trump is expected to visit Germany on July
7 and 8, attending the two-day the Group Twenty (620) summit in Hamburg.
