Orlando Bloom is due to begin work on his new film in London on Monday.

Bloom stars in The Calcium Kid with Omid Djalili and David Kelly. The film is a mockumentary comedy, in which Bloom plays young milkman Jimmy. He is an amateur boxer who by a bizarre twist of events ends up fighting the world champion in his home town.

It is the debut feature from writer/director Alex De Rakoff, whose previous work includes music videos for Ice T, Space, Bucketheads and N-Trance.
