"New World" centers on the Jamestown, Va., settlement where explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell) meets Indian princess Pocahontas. Christopher Plummer as Capt. Christopher Newport, Raoul Trujillo as the translator Tomocomo and Michael Greyeyes as Powhatan tribe member Wobblehead round out the cast. A search for an actress to embody the part of Pocahontas is still being conducted.

And apparently John Smith doesn't look too good-looking as you can see from the pic below.

So I wonder if Colin is going to be uglified in the film.

Very interesting! It's going to be fun to see him transform into that character.

Robsessed_MeesterManic · 05-29-2004, 12:10 AM

Apparently they are still scouting for the female role of pocahontas. So anyone have any female celeb favourites they want to see in the role?

I'll like to see either Keira Knightley or Scarlett Johansson in the role.

Lena · 05-30-2004, 10:18 AM

I like Keira but I'm not crazy about Scarlett.

Let me think about it...

Adding: What a surprise that Wes Study is in it! Not!

Robsessed_MeesterManic · 06-01-2004, 02:38 AM

I just realized who Wes Studi is lol. He sure does look familiar and he has the look for the role too.

Well I wonder what Colin's character is going to wear hmm.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Christian Bale has settled down with Colin Farrell and Christopher Plummer in Terrence Malick's "The New World."

The project is set in 17th Century Jamestown, Virginia where English explorer John Smith (Farrell) befriends native princess Pocahontas. Cultures clash when European settlers -- including Captain Christopher Newport (Plummer), the first president of the Jamestown colony -- invade the new land. Bale will portray English tobacco planter John Rolfe, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Also cast are David Thewlis as Smith's rival Capt. Wingfield and Q'orianka Kilcher as Pocahontas.

Yeah he was.

On a sidenote, I really wanted his character and winona's character to get together but alas....

Hunky actor Colin Farrell has agreed to play a 14-year-old girl's lover in a controversial new movie.

Little known Q'Orianka Kilcher will play Native American beauty Pocahontas opposite the Irish star's Captain John Smith in a retelling of the famous romance.

Actress Q'Orianka Kilcher, who played in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," will make her feature debut as Pocahontas. She also competed on the television revival of "Star Search" hosted by Arsenio Hall.

The teenager is a descendant of the Huachipaeri and Quechua tribes of South America.

Terrence Malick will direct the movie, which will also feature David Thewlis, Christopher Plummer and Christian Bale.

Hmm I'm feeling ambivalent of this pairing cus I was thinking after all, won't it be kind of illegal for Colin to get intimate with a teenager?

But we shall see I guess.

Robsessed_MeesterManic · 07-23-2004, 11:59 PM

If anyone is curious who the girl who play pocahontas looks, there she is on the right picture.

Hybrid-Angel · 07-31-2004, 10:56 PM

God! She's 14! ...Ummm Whoa!

...Lucky biatch!

I so can't wait to see this movie, and i'm especially curious about this age difference between Q'Orianka and Colin.

I wonder if things will be toned down becuz of it.

Hybrid-Angel · 07-31-2004, 10:58 PM

Just bring this pic over from the pic thread.

I know!

But maybe that is a sign we might all have a chance of actually appearing in a movie with Colin except me though, I think I would probably scare everyone off.

Hybrid-Angel · 08-01-2004, 06:28 PM

Yeah! Like Me!!! i'll star in a movie with him..even if it's me just walking past the camera.

I still can't get over the fact thats she's 14! I bet there'll be some huge thing about it.
