	Orlando Bloom talks Haven Orlando Bloom is still pretty proud of how Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has done at the box office. However, he's focused on another Caribbean film - Haven. Orlando stars in the film and also serves as producer; it takes place on the Cayman Islands, written and directed by native Caymaner, Frank E. Flowers. In the realm of Crash, Haven has interweaving storylines that come together to form a story; Orlando has the main story line that has him involved in a relationship with Zoe Saldana. Unfortunately for him, Zoe's father and brother (Anthony Mackie) are not happy with the two being together; one because of their race, and two because Zoe is playing someone in high school, while Orlando is out of high school. 4Read More
	Orlando Bloom talks Pirates 2 When he was at drama school, Orlando Bloom never quite imagined himself in action adventure movies. As he notes with a smile, it's funny how things turn out. His first major project was playing Legolas the elf in Peter Jackson's award winning Lord of the Rings trilogy and recently, he starred in Ridley Scott's action epic, Kingdom of Heaven. And let's not forget playing Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean. How could we? Along with Johnny Depp as the lovable rogue Jack Sparrow and Keira Knightley, as Elizabeth Swann the governor's daughter who falls for Will, Orlando obviously, and understandably, holds the first movie in high esteem. 4Read More
	Hot Interview: Orlando Bloom Q & A Q: You almost lost out on doing Elizabethtown. What happened? Orlando Bloom: I had met Cameron and had always wanted to work with him. I love his movies, to me he is the quintessential American director. He has his hand on his heart and his finger on the pulse of America. For me to approach an American character in the hands of one of the best in the business in terms of pulling off one of those American movies was so right.4Read More
	ORLANDO'S MAGIC: It's his time to bloom At 28, Orlando Bloom already has won over audiences -- and many a young girl's heart. But he's a little nervous about this next big step. "Bohemian. Still maturing. Still growing," confides Orlando Bloom. "It is a little chaotic." This bit of introspection from Hollywood's newest leading man seems revealing -- and dead-on. In a deconstructed black jacket and a conductor's cap, Bloom's bohemian side is definitely on display. As for the maturing and growing part -- well, he's only 28 and an actor whose star is rising. Friday, he plunges into battle and onto the big screen in Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven," an epic adventure about the 12th-century Crusades. 4Read More
	An exclusive interview with the star of Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven. The first time Orlando Bloom worked with Ridley Scott, the director flung the young actor from a helicopter. This time around, Bloom has a slightly more crucial role. Bloom portrays the loosely historically based Balian in Scott's new epic Kingdom of Heaven. Balian is a blacksmith whose faith is wavering after the loss of his family. Through a series of unlikely circumstances, he is pulled into the Holy Wars, events in a distant land which Balian himself was at first only vaguely aware of. He soon rises to knighthood to become the unlikely defender of Jerusalem. . 4Read More
	Talks About Getting Lucky and Playing 'Pirates' Sure Ian McKellan may have gotten the Oscar nomination, but if there's one person who has reaped success from Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" that person is actor Orlando Bloom. With only a small role in "Wilde" on his film resume, Bloom was plucked out of relative obscurity to play Legolas the Elf in the based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novels. Only two films into the trilogy, Bloom has already landed feature roles in the high profile films "Black Hawk Down," "Ned Kelly," "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Troy," in which he stars opposite Brad Pitt, Eric Bana ("The Hulk"), Peter O'Toole, Julie Christie and Brian Cox. 4Read More

	Orlando Bloom & Kingdom of Heaven Orlando Bloom is a lean, mean servant of God in these scenes from Ridley Scott's epic. Ridley Scott is known for his epic productions involving elves. Sorrent is known for its pocket-sized productions involving strategic Fox licensing deals. Is this a great match, or what? The 12th-century Crusades are finally a 21st-century reality, thanks to Orlando Bloom's latest romp, Kingdom of Heaven. We got to test-drive Bloom's pronounced, aristocratic cheekbones, saving the unwashed masses in the process. In each of Kingdom of Heaven's 10 levels, you'll find huddled groups of Jerusalem's refugees. Your job is to escort them to safety. Unfortunately, the Saracens keep doing inconsiderate things, like launching volleys of fireballs and arrows at you. It's important to dodge these and to move strategically between safe points on the map. 4Read More
