Keira for Saturday Night Fever

Marie Claire Celebrity News: Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are set to don their flares and hit the dancefloor in a remake of cult 70s smash Saturday Night Fever.



The 1977 original, which saw John Travolta strut his stuff in an eye-wateringly tight white suit, was set against the funky backdrop of disco-era Brooklyn, but movie bosses are reportedly planning on setting the remake, The Fever Returns, in er, a sleepy Hertfordshire village named Hoddesdon.



Quite how that will work remains to be seen, but Keira and Orlando have already proved they've got sizzling on-screen chemistry - in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.



Let's hope their dancing feet are just as hot...

Another remake? Hollywood has really run out of ideas in recent years...

How can you do a remake of a film like Saturday Night fever in a sleepy town of Hertfordshire, just doesn't make sense!!

I live in Hoddesdon and it's so lame! Maybe Orlando Bloom would brighten it up a bit!

Where's the positivity people? Hoddesdon is a fantastic town to live in. The film will put it on the map and give those that live there an interesting story to tell their friends. What's the point of doing a remake if its going to be exactly the same? I can't see how its going to work but the big cheeses at the film company wouldn't pour their money into it if they didn't think it would be good.

GO HODDY GO !!!!!!

Hoddesdon is a great town, I've lived here all my life , this town has been used many times to make films, no one remarked about it then ,so why run it down now? Its not a sleepy town.
