Rumoured and Unfinanced Projects #1: What will Orlando star in next?

This thread is for discussion of all projects Orlando is rumoured to be involved in (or there are rumours that the producers want him involved), and for projects that he has signed on to, but are not guaranteed to get made.

The Journey Is The Destination
Orlando has signed as the lead Dan Eldon in this true story. Putting the story of Dan Eldon's life on screen is something Orlando is very passionate about. Finance is not guaranteed.

Deaf Road
Orlando has signed on as the lead in this true story about a deaf soldier. He will learn sign language for the role. Finance is not guaranteed. UPDATE: We have a basic plot outline - 'Based on the story of Venville's uncle and three friends-all of them profoundly deaf-who took a road trip from London to Tangiers, the film is "completely in sign language," with English subtitles.'

Perfume: Story of a Murderer
Producers are rumoured to want Orlando to play the lead character in the adaptation of Patrick Suskind's novel of the same name. The production will film in mid-2005. UPDATE: Although Orlando is interested in the project, Tom Tykwer (the director) believes that Orlando does not fit the character.

James Bond
Rumours abound that Orlando (along with many other actors under the age of 40) is may sign on for the role after Pierce Brosnan's contract is up. UPDATE: Latest rumours state that Orlando is in the running to play a young James Bond.

Calvin Klein
Latest rumours state that Orlando will be joining Scarlett Johansen as the face of Calvin Klein, and will appear in advertisements for the label around mid 2005. UPDATE: Turns out it wasnt Orlando after all.

This is the first I've heard of this. Sounds interesting, I hope it gets made.

He's too young for the role. He needs a few more years before he'd be ready ... like 10 or more.

That's exactly what I was thinking. As much as I love seeing him all over the place I hope he'd take some time just for himself. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

He has been signed on for at least 9 months (maybe longer). But because there has been no financing of the film as yet, there hasnt been any press releases. I only came across the information in an article about Malcolm Venville's (the writer/director of Deaf Road) career in advertising and what effect being a child of deaf parents on his career.

In other news, James Bond 21 is due to start filming in January 2005, which clashes with the start of filming for POTC2. So it looks doubtful that Orlando would be in any way involved.

And Orli as Mr. Darcy?! [img]smilies/thud.gif[/img] [img]smilies/thud.gif[/img] [img]smilies/thud.gif[/img] [img]smilies/thud.gif[/img] I'm going to have fainting spells in the middle of the day.

I've gotta admit that i'm grateful about this
If he did do this it would mean that he is a part of three HUGE franchises and i just really don't see him working as James Bond

And i think i'm the only person around who doesn't want him to play Mr Darcy...i can't explain why but it just seems wrong to me

And everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there is no need to come onto a board where the people obviously like him and say that [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
It just makes you seem as though you want to cause trouble

Oh...you're not alone [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Orlando as Mr. Darcy? I can't see it too. Colin Firth will always be Mr. Darcy to me... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Urgh. Not only does Colin Firth own that role, I think there's something about Orlando that's as much NOT Mr. Darcy as he's NOT James Bond. He's gotta find his own roles to make his than to take over from well-established actors.

Regarding the Mr Darcy rumour... the list hasnt been narrowed down at all yet. As far as I can tell, it would currently have every relatively good looking, age appropriate actor that can actually act on it (provided they arent already booked to film something around the time they are looking to make P&P). So its a rumour in the broadest sense of the word [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sean Astin did not get hired as the director of Fantastic Four, so the likelihood of Orlando Bloom playing the Human Torch is almost nil. They are also planning on starting to film in August, while Elizabethtown starts in July.
