Bloom, Molina, Hawkins join 'Education'
Scherfig pic shoots in London
By ARCHIE THOMAS

Orlando Bloom, Alfred Molina and Sally Hawkins, who won a Silver Bear in Berlin for “Happy-Go-Lucky,” have joined the cast of Lone Scherfig’s “An Education,” a coming-of-ager set in 1960s London.
Trio join Peter Sarsgaard, Rosumund Pike, Emma Thompson, Olivia Williams and emerging thesp Carey Mulligan (“And When Did You Last See Your Father?”).

Mulligan plays a witty and attractive 17-year-old, whisked off her feet by an unsuitable thirtysomething (Sarsgaard), who dazzles her with the high life.

Pic is scripted by Nick Hornby from an article by journalist Lynn Barber.

Endgame Entertainment and BBC Films developed and are financing the pic, which is produced by Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey.

Endgame’s James D. Stern, Douglas E. Hansen and Wendy Japhet, and David M. Thompson for BBC Films executive produce.

The film will shoot in London in March and April.

Odyssey Entertainment is handling worldwide sales.

I personally love the idea of a British film for him and I hope this is true!! I have to say, I had been wanting him to work with Alfred molina!

Orlando lands Education role

Orlando Bloom has apparently joined the cast of new movie An Education.

The Lord Of The Rings star will join Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson and Peter Sarsgaard in the coming-of-age movie set in 60s London.


The film is based on British journalist Lynn Barber's memoir and the screenplay has been written by Nick Hornby, author of hit novels High Fidelity and About A Boy, both of which have been made into successful movies.

The story centres around Jenny (played by rising British star Carey Mulligan), a clever and beautiful 17-year-old who is introduced to a glamorous new life in London and lead astray by the older and unsuitable David, played by Jarhead star Peter Sarsgaard.

Orlando will play his charming business partner Danny, and former Bond girl Rosamund will play his girlfriend Helen.

An Education is being produced by BBC Films and Endgame Entertainment and will be directed by award-winning Danish director Lone Scherfig.

Thanks for the new thread Chris and new movie! I'm not sure if Rosamund will have chemistry with Orli, though.

more info thanks to interconnector at OL Orlando Love - View Single Post - 'An Education'

Quote:
A slightly longer summary from BBC Films


Quote:
An Education is the story of a teenage girl's coming-of-age set in early 1960s London, a city caught between the drab, post-war 1950s and the glamorous, more liberated decade to come. Jenny (Mulligan) stands on the brink of becoming a woman: a brilliantly witty and attractive 17-year-old whose suburban life is about to be blown apart by the utterly unsuitable thirtysomething Alan (Sarsgaard). He introduces her to an exciting new world of chic dinners with his charismatic, sophisticated friend Danny and his stunning girlfriend Helen (Pike), whisks her off to art auctions, smoky clubs and foreign trips. But just as her parents' long-held dream of Jenny getting into Oxford University seems within reach, another kind of life tempts her. Will Alan be the making or the undoing of Jenny?

....and do not forget that it is a DANISH director (I am a bit proud here...) actually she said to a danish newspaper yesterday, that she were wery happy to have Orlando in the movie, because all the other characters were already casted, except his part, she wanted him and got him

It's nice to know that he was first choice for the role.
I'm guessing then that Rosamund's character is actually Sarsgaard's girl. We'll see, I am glad they had him in mind though.

I don't know, if he is Sarsgaard's friend I'm thinking he may be pretty shady himself. If he's charming though I think it could have that type of humor. Ahhh I can't wait!!
