Possible New Film Role?
From The Daily Telegraph:
“A £5 million ITV drama about Colditz Castle, scene of 300 Allied escape attempts
in the Second World War, is causing dismay among survivors because the script
shows Nazi camp commanders in an honourable light.” / “A cast still has to be picked for the drama, with speculation that Ewan
McGregor, Orlando Bloom and Keeley Hawes have been approached.” Thanks to OBM.net for the link.

fave spring flower! Here's why .....

down-to-earth 'I have a great job. Why would I not appreciate that?'
2)He
keeps on growing - Orli started in tv, and got his big break in the Lord of the
Rings. He's since worked non-stop.

Rings, Orlando had to learn bareback riding and sword fighting, and his
off-screen hobbies include sky diving!

ROTK Trailer on Kazaa
Yesterday I reported that the teaser trailer for Return of
the King was on Kazaa. Novlómien writes: I downloaded it since I have a fast cable connection and the trailer is
really only a series of clips from FOTR, and the Two Towers... plus one clip of
Pippin and Denethor... that's all... so I don't think it's really worth
downloading, at least for me it wasn't.

From Tristan: At Spencer Gifts in US they have a HUGE Legolas poster (I bought it myself) and
several TTT posters with smaller pics of Orli. I'm not sure if its just the
store in N. California, or if its all over.
Pirates Info from Nickelodeon Magazine
From Michelle: In the April edition of Nickelodeon magazine, pages 47, 49, 50, 52,
and 53 have stuff about Pirates of the Caribbean (The Curse of the
Black Pearl). On page 47 it has one picture of Johnny and Orlando and then
one with just Johnny. On page 49, it has the same picture of Orlando and
Johnny and a trivia question, which is: 'Who is the emeny of Jack Sparrow?'
On page 50, there is a picture of Orlando and Johnny (a different one)
Orlando is closer to the camera and he looks so gorgeous. There is a
paragraph and it says: 'This summer's blockbuster promises to make big waves
on July 9. Captin Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and expert swordsman, Will
Turner (Orlando Bloom) take to the high seas to rescue a governor's
daughter (Keira Knightley) and to recapture Sparrow's pirate ship, The Black
Pearl, from his arch emeny Captin Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). It's a tale made
all the more thrilling by the fact that our pirates have been cursed to live
as the undead, and moonlight reveals them to be eerie walking
sketeltons. Coming to theaters July 9, 2003.' On page 52, there is some
information about Johnny Depp and it doesn't mention Orli. And the last page, 53,
there is an advertisement for Pirates of the Caribbean.

More Ned Kelly Reviews
Natalie and Amy sent in their reviews of Ned Kelly.
Here are two reviews from aintitcool.com, one that states:
"They are a likeable group, Joe Byrne, Orlando Bloom, he’s a ladies’ man, a
rogue, and I liked him instantly."
And a second that says:
"This is the first non-LOTR film I've seen Orlando Bloom in, and he's a perfect
foil to Ledger. Jordan may have been casting on charm alone; it's entirely
believable when you see Bloom's character seduce a new woman every five minutes.
Perhaps Bloom's career may be as backup screen candy? (to Mortensen in LOTR;
Ledger in KELLY; Depp in PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN; Pitt in TROY; etc...)
Hopefully he'll find himself in a starring role soon, because he more than has
the talent to carry one."
From Kelly: On Monday (24th) Heath Ledger was on the Andrew Denton show (on
Aussie telly) and he was talking bout how great it was to meat his fellow
cast members. Also, on 94.5 (an old fogies station my parents listen to)
they had an interview with someone from the cast of Ned Kelly (didn't catch
his name) and he was saying what an awesome guy Orlando was and how great of
a person he is!
Another Troy Manipulation
I have inspired Elf Lady to make her own photo manipulation of Orlando as Paris!
ROTK Trailer on Kazaa?
From Jennifer: Available now on Kazaa, you can download the teaser trailer of LoTR: Return of
the King. I haven't finished downloading it yet. From what I'm told, there might
be several out. But since I don't have that much memory to start with, I can
only download this one. In the trailer, there are mostly old clips from the last
two movies, but I have seen new Legolas clips (and he looks gooooood!!!)Plus, a
clip of Pippn with Denethor, so I know this is for real.

Pirates Trailer Coming Soon
From Yahoo Movies-
"Wondering when you will get to see the actual full trailer? I have the
answer! On April 6th, it will be available to watch right here at Yahoo!
Movies. I've heard from someone who's seen it and they say that everything
you're expecting is in there... great shots of the stars, lots of action,
and those spooky skeleton pirates. Check back here in 11 days for that
trailer!"
Also, Ted Elliott, one of the screenwriters for Pirates, posted this about the trailer at Wordplayer.com:
"Current plan is that it will be attached to ANGER MANAGEMENT (April 11).
Current plan also includes something called a "Roadblock booking" -- the same
ad time is purchased on a number of different networks and stations, and the
same ad is run on all of 'em. In the case of PotC, the trailer will run in its
entirety on every Disney-owned station (from all ABC affiliates to ESPN2 to The
Discovery Channel). We'll let you know date and time as soon as they are locked
down (*if* they do, in fact, decide to do this)."
Star Magazine
From Asia Lynn Bloom: I thought you might like to know that in the April 1st issue of Star (Canada and

Orlando dating Kate Bosworth and such.

Ned Kelly on Aussie TV
From Natalie: Ned Kelly is everywhere on Australian TV at the moment! On Thurs, 27th March,
both the Today show and Brisbane Extra had stories on the the movie. Each went
for between five and ten minutes, with interviews with several of the cast
members (no Orlando interviews) and heaps of shots of all the guys on set,
including some scrummy ones of Orlando posing for publicity shots with a gun in
his hand, mounting a horse with elf-like precision, and receiving some direction
on a scene from Gregor Jordan and nodding in agreement.
Also in NW
Magazine there is a small pic and a "Did You Know?" bit about Orlando as Joe
Byrne saying that he was orginially asked to read for all the other gang members
but he only wanted to play Joe Byrne and insisted that he would only read for
that one. Also on a TV interview with Joel Egerton, he spoke about how he
originally read for the part of Joe Byrne also but that it was "a good thing he
didn't get it, cause then nobody would get to see Orlando Bloom!"
Also, don't forget that there will be a Ned Kelly featurette on In-Entertainment his Sunday at 6.00pm EDST, on Channel 10 (network 10).

Sugar Article
Shelly sent in this small article on pg 90 of the March issue of Sugar (UK):
'Oh-so-lovely Orlando recently rocketed into the
headlines after his performance in the blockbusting
trilogy, Lord of the Rings. But, although the buff Mr.
Bloom become a hollywood babe, he was born and
bred in Britain. Yay!'
It's an introduction on a section called the 'Tinseltown Totty' which is 8 boys from Hollywood. Orlando is at the top.
Official Ned Kelly Site Update
From the Ned Kelly Newsletter: "The wait is finally over - "Ned Kelly" hits cinemas all around Australia today! The world premiere took place at Melbourne's Regent Theatre on Saturday night

Movie Show Review of Ned Kelly
From Natalie: Just wanted to let you know I just saw a review of Ned Kelly on the Movie Show
(SBS in Australia). The two critics, David and Margaret, gave an overview of
the story and showed many previously unseen clips featuring Orlando where he
looks absolutely delectable (beard and all). David described the film as a
"brooding, handsome production" and said that "Orlando Bloom and Joel Edgerton
head a very strong supporting cast as his [Ned's] loyal lieutenant and friend
who betrays him respectively". Margaret agreed with the positive aspects of
David's review but did add that she thought the story had been "compromised for
an international audience" and also thought at times it was "expositional" and
"clunky". Also thought I'd let you know, there are many different
interpretations of the Ned Kelly story in Australia, and in one of the versions
it is noted that Joe Byrne (the character that Orlando plays) was actually a
well known transvestite!!!
NW and Rave Magazine
From Natalie: In the March 31st issue of NW (Australia) Ned Kelly has been listed as Movie of
the Week. They say "Heath is charisma on legs. Equally good is Orlando Bloom
(Legolas in the Lord of the Rings movies) as gang member Joe Byrne." On the
negative side, it also goes on to say "And despite the sheer quality of the
actors on offer, many go to waste in roles that don't give them room to spread
their wings." There is a small accompanying picture with Orlando and Heath in
the foreground on horseback.
Also in this week's free RAVE magazine they
are having a competition open for Brisbane residents only to win one of five Ned
Kelly packs, including the soundtrack, a Tshirt and poster. There is also a
feature article called "The Monarch of Glenrowan" with some interesting bits and
pieces about the film, as well as much discussion with Heath and director Gregor
Jordan. There is a small mention of the fact that the widely believed version
of events is that Joe Byrne wore a woman's dress when he went to shoot his best
friend, but no mention of Orlando.
The City Weekly Review of Ned Kelly
Emma sent in part of the Ned Kelly review in The City Weekly magazine, March 27 issue, in
Melbourne, Australia.
"The predominantly young, spunky, box-office-friendly cast acquit
themselves well. Heath Ledger is credible in the title role, but it is the
quiet, intense screen presence of Orlando Bloom as Joe Byrne, that makes a
truly memorable impact. Rachel Griffiths' cameo as a lascivious bank
manager's wife is ill-judged, while Geoffrey Rush is suitably impassive as
chief law enforcer Superintendent Hare. While (Gregor) Jordan's latest
film shows less of his vigour and visual flair that characterised his
entertaining debut feature, Two Hands (1999- which Heath Ledger had a
starring role in), Ned Kelly is nevertheless worth a look. Rating three
stars."
Also from Emma: "I went to the Ned Kelly world premiere at the regent theatre
in Melbourne and I saw Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts and a couple of other
people but no Orlando as we knew he was not coming BUT there were other fans
there with big signs saying 'send my love to orlando', which was nice."

From Christy at Orlando's Haven: In this week's SNEAK, Orlando knocks Gareth Gates off the top spot in their
weekly Top Totty text poll. There is also a picture of him in the 'next week
in Sneak-' with the caption 'shocking real life stories!' I expect it will
be the broken-back-story again. Also a little pic of him in the horoscopes
part with his sign, Capricorn.
Ned Kelly Fan Reports
Ali sent in her report of the Ned Kelly premiere in Sydney last night.
"Ok, so orlando wasn't there but heath ledger, naomii watts, joel edgerton, phil baratini and
were. very cool! i didn't manage to get any decent photos unfortunatley, but i
haven't developed my disposable yet so fingers crossed! Anyway, in terms
of the movie itself, i really enjoyed it, although it was lacking a bit of
depth! still, it was pretty easy to follow and good for those who have little or
no knowledge of the ned kelly story (ie. most people!! :D). also, for any orli
fans it is a total must-see and he was so unbelieveably gorgeous, and the beard
made no difference whatsoever - it probably only made him even more gorgeous!
and his irish accent was fantastic. awesome acting from all fronts, and it's a
really fantastic movie so i recommend everyone go see it ASAP!!"
Alariagreenleaf at the OBFans board has also posted her review.

with him."

Calcium Kid and Orlando.
'But as yet she has not had much luck. Her one role was in The Calcium Kid, which stars Orlando

will go straight to video in America, and looks unlikely to prove her
springboard to dramatic credility.'

Daily Mail Article
Fiona typed up an article about Kiera Knightley and Pirates of the Caribbean in The Daily
Mail. It doesn't mention Orlando, but has some interesting info.
'Keira’s sick of the sea'
Keira Knightley felt she’d already spent
quite enough time getting her sea legs on a ship that was bobbing up and down
like a cork, trapped inside a mammoth studio water tank.
The young actress, who starred opposite
Parminder Nagra in the hit film Bend It Like Beckham, plays the ingenue in
Disney’s swashbuklin’ new adventure picture, Pirates of the Caribbean, much of
which was filmed in the aforementioned tank late last year. But two weeks ago
she had to return to Hollywood to shoot some scenes alongside Johnny Depp, the
dashing hero and Geoffrey Rush, the wicked pirate who want’s to use Keira’s
blood to break an ancient curse.
But
on Sunday night she’s allowed shore leave so that she can attend Vanity Fair’s
Oscar party at Morton’s restaurant. And it gets better. She can use the
occasion to celebrate her 20th birthday. (March 23rd,
tomorrow) Best of all, on Monday Keira can abandon ship entirely and head home.
By air.

pic of him from a premiere with a blue coloured shirt on and the caption
about him says: "And the winner is... Orlando Bloom (Lord of the
Rings: The Two Towers). This award has absolutely nothing to do with the
fact that we've spent the last year drooling over Brit actor Orlando. Well,
maybe just a bit, but no one can deny the boy's talent (or his beautiful
body) in the Lord Of The Rings films and we're sure the 25-year-old is going
to go far. See him without his pointy ears this year in The Calcium Kid with
Billie Piper".

More on BHD Screencaps
Regarding the screencaps (1 & 2) from the 2nd disc of the Black Hawk Down European edition DVD that I posted yesterday, Lady Nin
reminded me of this quote by Orlando that gives further evidence that it may be him in the pictures: "In another film, Black Hawk down, my character falls from a helicopter and
breaks his back--maybe the fact that I had done that in real life helped me get
the part. I went to boot camp to prepare for my role and I was fine, although I
did pop my knee out of its socket. I hope that my injury won't prevent me from
doing an action movie like The Matrix. It hasn't yet." (Bliss magazine 07-02)

exclusive report on Ned Kelly the movie. Lots of shots of Orlando, but it
focussed more on Heath and the Australian Cast, as well as the 'glorification'
of bushrangers as folk heroes. Some new footage was shown, but I think nothing
new of Orlando.

wizards and keep hope alive in their valiant quest."
Legolas in SFX Poll
From Elf Lady: Saw this in the January 2003 issue of SFX magazine: a
readers' poll of the top 100 figures in science fiction/fantasy.
055 Legolas
First Appearance: The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring (book, 1954)
Oooh, look at his big eyes, he's so lovely! The on-screen
Legolas melted members of both sexes into little puddles. Which is cool, elves
are pretty, but then you kind of forget that he's the 1,000 year-old son of a
king and a member of the most magical race on the planet. No wonder he's such a
good shot. He's had a lot of practice.

School:The Two Tall Ones" in the same font as the LOTR one.

Small Orlando Bit from The Age
From Jiniyah: There was an incy tiny little mention of Orlando in the sundaylife in The Age
(aus). It was an article on Ned Kelly: "No one could criticise the bond between the boys who play the Kelly Gang.
While they don't, like the real lads, have to choose between mateship and their
lives, they do get along famously. "I hate him. He's the Judas," says Orlando
Bloom, the 26-year-old from Kent who plays Kelly's right-hand man, Joe Byrne.
He's putting Joel Edgerton in a headlock at the time. But they're laughing.
Jordan forced them to get to know each other by sending them all off to sleep
rough, high up in "Kelly country", before the cameras rolled."

lot of the conceptual art was shown, but no mention of Orlando. But when JB was

Orlando in Teen People
From Tiffany: On the cover of the April issue of Teen People magazine (US), Orlando is mentioned on the cover, in a good guys
vs. bad guys sort of thing... Orlando being a good guy. Inside it reads:
'Orlando Bloom, 26. "Woman are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished." says
the single co-star of Lord of the Rings. Any takers, ladies?' There were two pictures of him, but we've seen them before.
The New Daniel Day-Lewis
From Kerry: According to AOL, "Orlando is the new Daniel Day-Lewis". They say "The eyes have it. Both actors have those piercing stares that make most women go weak in the knees.
And not satisfied with prancing about as Legolas in The Lord Of The Rings, Orlando is back in Troy next year as Prince Paris. As for Day-Lewis, he's probably going back to being a cobbler."
If you have AOL, click here.
Access Hollywood
Access Hollywood finally showed the segment from Pirates of the Caribbean! They showed a short interview where Orlando said: "I can't believe how lucky I've been! I've played an elf. I've been a boxer, an outlaw and now a pirate?! I'm living like every boys dream, ya know? It's unbelievable."
Then they showed a clip of Orlando and Johnny sword fighting, in which Johnny seems to miss his mark, which causes him to hit Orlando on the wrist and Orlando to hit Johnny's thigh. Orlando says "I'm sorry man!" and Johnny asks "Are you alright?". Orlando responds "Yea, yea, yea. (laughs and rubs his wrist) Good as gold."

Orlando at Ned Kelly Premiere Update
From OBM.net:
Julie sent in this info from today's Sydney Daily Telegraph: "While Melbourne
will stage the world premiere of Ned Kelly next month the Sydney premiere will
have something, or rather someone that our southern cousins won't. Orlando Bloom
who plays Kelly gang member Joe Byrne, is unlikely to be able to make the
Melbourne black tie affair on March 22 because of filming commitments. He is
currently shooting the Pirates of the Carribean, also starring Geoffrey Rush,
which is running slightly behind schedule. But Bloom is tipped to be able to
make it to Sydney on March 23 and hook up with the other stars of the show
including glamour couple Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts and director Gregor
Jordan."

Troy Article
Fiona sent in this article from Big Screen Teletext on t.v.
"Big Screen: News
Screen legend Peter O’Toole and Julie Christie join Brad Pitt in an epic film version
of the Greek myth of Troy. Director Wolfgang Peterson has confirmed that
O’Toole will play Priam, king of Troy, while Christie is Thetis, mother of Achilles
(Pitt). Lord of the Rings stars Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean play Paris and
Odysseus respectively. Saffron Burrows is Andromache and Brain Cox is
Agamemnon. Troy director Wolfgang Peterson has sworn that a war in the Middle
East will not derail plans to shoot a star-studded version of the Iliad.
Peterson hopes to shoot battle scenes in Morocco, but if conflict makes it
impossible, he’s scouting alternative locations in Spain and Mexico. "We will
take care of the security and safety of everybody involved," he says "But the
movie will happen and there won't be a week of delay"
Legolas Braids
Mary has updated her braiding site
with instructions specifically for the Legolas braids.
Interview Magazine
From Debb: In the March 2003 Interview magazine, there is an article with Keira Knightley
who is Orlando's co-star in "Pirates" and he is briefly mentioned.
Unfortunately, no pictures of the movie set or Orlando. Here's how the piece around Orlando
goes:
Interview Magazine: Pirates, which comes out this summer, is your
first prominent role in a big production, no?
Kiera: "Yeah, and it's very
exciting. The movie is a big adventure inspired by the Disney ride, and we've
got Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Jonathan Pryce in it. I've
been in L.A. for three months now, and I'm getting used to everything, and it's
bizarre. It's really strange when you walk onto a set with a life-size ship,
and they're blowing it up, and you think, Just a normal day at work. But it's
been an incredible learning experience. When you're doing a small film,
everything goes pretty quickly. But on one of these monsters, it goes so slowly
it's unbelievable. I'm totally spoiled here on the set, and I'm enjoying it
thoroughly.
Interview: Now, Johnny's been living in France for a while,
and Jonathan and Orlando are Brits. Do you guys talk football?
Kiera:
Actually, Orlando's not a big football fan, but I've found a lot of Brits over
here who are. I've been going to a pub in Santa monica at 6:30 in the morning
to watch live English football.

the Travelmail part on pages 87 & 88. The writer of the article visited places that are linked with Ned Kelly.
It has two pages about Ned Kelly (not the film) although it talks about the film, in small parts. There is a

Heath Ledger as Ned Kelly in the new film based on the legendary aussie outlaw.'

hear he has two films set for 2003 release: The Kelly Gang (also starring Heath
Ledger) and the brit-flick The Calcium Kid (about a milkman!). Orlando is also
set to star in the Pirates of the Caribbean alongside Johnny Depp and with Brad
Pitt in Troy. As the man himself says: "I'm too busy for a relationship. I
would like to meet someone, but I'm working so hard right now and not in any
place long enough to make a real connection," Free and single- just the way the
ladies like him!!"

Ned Kelly, with interviews with all the cast apparently. Also, in today's paper (Saturday 22nd, 2003) for The Mercury (Tasmanian paper, in
Australia) there is an article about Ned Kelly and Heath Ledger. I think they

Mykindaplace.com
Charlotte says that Orlando is this weeks hot guy on mykindaplace.com, although I can't seem to find it on the site.
But you can read Orlando's horoscope here.
I also found this amusing bit about the fashion sense of Capricorns: "Now we know that Capricorns are too cool to even care about clothes, and that
they pretty much have style without knowing it. ...you love vintage t-shirts, old school trainers and comfy jeans. However, on the
rare occasions when you need to dress up, you secretly like slipping into a
sharp black suit and bringing out your studious and serious side."
New Decipher Cards
Decipher.com has posted 2 new TTT Battle of Helm's Deep cards featuring Legolas (1 & 2).
Orlando Stamps
From Katie: I saw this thing last month at an exihibition fair
thingy and these people were selling these stamps and I thought maybe some
people would like to make one of Orlando. Their flyer says: "Japan's latest innovation in ink stamps! Massively
popular novelty toy. Much more affordable than the rubber stamps.Traditional
rubber stamps take days to produce. E- Stamps takes no longer than 15 mins to be
produced." You can send them a pic of Orlando and they'll make
you a stamp and send it to you. Email : nexx@rogers.com Tel/fax : (416) 616-9997 (these people are in
Toronto, Canada)
