News Clip from NZ
Nzoom.com has a news clip on their site that has a short interview with Orlando and shows footage of him being mobbed in NZ.
Here's a photo from the interview.
From Marian: Orlando arrived in Wellington on Saturday morning. His comments to TV3 reporter
were that it was nice to be back and that he hoped to be able to do some surfing.
On Sunday, TV3 reporter Belinda Henley was able to interview 14 major stars
from the movie, starting at 9am with Peter Jackson, but only five small soundbites were shown
on the 6pm news. Orlando was shown being interviewed with Liv Tyler. When asked how they felt
about being permanantly associated with NZ, Orlando replied that he was pleased, it was great.
He was honoured to be associated with NZ. Liv Tyler was also pleased that she was to be
permanantly associated with NZ. Orlando looked quite tired, but as he had flown straight
from LA the day before, I guess jetlag was starting to kick in.
Rings Fever Hits Wellington
From nzoom.com:
Orlando Bloom, who plays Legolas, has also been singing Jackson's praises. "Nobody can touch him when
it comes to making this epic, unbelievable reality world."
The actors grew fond of New Zealand during the long filming schedule. Bloom says
he feels like he is coming home every time he arrives in the country and would
like to buy property in New Zealand.

Knightley (no mention of Orli). On pg. 80 in the "Little Black Book" section, they have what's new on DVD.
They've got a mini pic of the DVD and it says: "Those of you who think a movie
about a Disney ride is lame - get over it! Johnny Depp is hysterical, Orlando
Bloom rocks, and the action factor is huge. Even better, the DVD version has
bonus scenes of Orlando goofing around - we knew he had a less serious side!"
On pg. 84 they have a pic of Legolas and Aragorn. It is for the event
section: "The Lord of the RIngs: The Return of the King Benefit Screening Dec.
16, 7 pm - Okay, so this screening of the third installment of the Lord of the Rings
trilogy (starring our cover Liv!) costs about 50 times more than the regular
movie ticket but... it benefits the American Museum of the MOVING IMAGE, A
WORTHY CAUSE INDEED. LOEWS Lincoln Square, NYC. 212-245-6570; $350 and up for
a group of four." It doesn't say if any of the cast will be attending.

'Rings' Cast Revolt Over Pay Offer
From nzherald.co.nz:
The stars of The Lord of the Rings were so upset at what they considered
paltry bonus offers they threatened to take their demand for more money to
the head of Time Warner. In the lead-up to the launch of the third and final film in the trilogy,
The Return of the King, Newsweek has reported that the past year was "a
volatile one for relations between the cast and studio".
The row was resolved after one actor "everyone" trusted struck a deal with
New Line studio. The magazine reported that many of the actors were hired for "a song" to
perform in the trilogy, because they were unknowns. These included Orlando Bloom, now one of Hollywood's hottest actors.

Haven Filming News
From caymannetnews.com: The film, which stars Orlando Bloom, Bill Paxton and Gabriel Byrne, caused
the closure of much of Fort Street and Edward Street early Sunday. Future

Christmas.

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Orlando's Appearance in Haven
SPOILERS: Lauren sent in more info about what the acid burn looks like that Orlando's character has in the movie. "It was kind of wrinkly and pink. It covered the left side of his face
from about high cheek to his eyebrow. It looked like a burn. But it wasn't
TOO bad, it isn't like it was the first thing you looked at."
Quote in Johnny Depp Article
Johnny Depp is People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2003. Orlando is quoted a few times in the article:
"You look at him and think, 'Now that's a cool guy,' " says Pirates of the Caribbean costar Orlando Bloom. "He's
just one of the best-looking guys on the screen."
"You get the feeling Johnny has been
through the sausage machine of Hollywood and come out the other side still
standing."

King special issue, comes out in New Zealand on December 1, 2003.

POTC Buttons at Best Buy
From Ashley: I was at Best Buy last night purchasing
my TTT Extended DVD and one of the employees was wearing a POTC button on his
shirt. I asked him if I could have one and he went back in the store and
brought out two for me. This was in my hometown, Lansdale Pennsylvania, but
they probably have them everywhere else.
Bad Fashion Taste List
From Abby: There is a section on AOL's People website where they list the guys who have
bad fashion taste. Unfortunaetly, Orlando is one of them. It says: "MAN IN
BLACK: British hottie Orlando Bloom's star is on the rise (he'll appear next
with Brad Pitt in the upcoming movie Troy), but it seems he still is in need of a
stylist. At the London premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean, Bloom sported a
buttoned-up blazer, tacky track pants and freaky footwear. Let's not even get
started on the hair." The picture they show is the one from the POTC premier in London.
Club News Magazine
From ?: In 'Club News' magazine (UK) there is a page on Orlando but it has
no new info. Also I think it could only be for social services offices.

Also, in the movie theatre's magazine "Famous", they have an interview with
Keira Knightley where they ask her if she prefers Orlando or Johnny. She
says, "Got to go for Johnny. Don't tell him that. But I've got to go for
Johnny. His bone structure's not bad." There is also a fairly large
article about the Return of the King video game near the back of the magazine.

Also, in the current issue of HUPER (Serbia) there is a giant poster of him (and they also had one giant poster of Legolas,
one giant of Will, and 3 or 4 more of just him). In one old article from
the London premiere of POTC, a Serbian journalist got to meet him. There are some
new pics, and the journalist asked him some things about LOTR and POTC. The journalist asked him if he is ever going to come
to Serbia and he said if the weather was ok and if he had time that he is going to come because he loves to meet different people and see different cultures.

The jade stone is a gift he got from Billy Boyd while shooting LOTR, the key
belongs to hand-cuffs from the New York police (oho!)".
Bravo Girl, # 24, has the picture from the Teen Read Week poster and a couple of other pictures with another 'First...' article
(first record, first kiss..).
Starplanet, a new teen magazine, has an article with
photos about Orlando similar to the one Bravo had a couple of weeks ago - the

Article on Haven
From Lauren: In my local newspaper (Cayman Islands) it had an article about the movie,
but it didn't mention Orlando by name:
In the newest Frankie Flowers film, due to start filming in Cayman on 17
November, a number of high profile young actors have been cast as locals and
residents. Unlike the film's two high profile actors Gabriel Byrne and Bill
Paxton, Frankie wishes to keep them anonymous as long as possible, so they can
"move freely on the island and really experience the culture".
That's just a snippet from the whole article but the rest was long and boring, and based most on the
director, who is a resident here.

Dressed Boy'. The piece is on page 59.

Worst Haircut of All Time
Amanda-Michael Sapphire: On netscape.com there was an article about best and worst haircuts,
Orlando was mentioned in #5 of the worst haircuts list. They called it the
"Tintin Fringe" (When he had that AWESOME faux hawk thing going on, I don't
know what they're talking about! I Love that haircut!) "5. Tintin Fringe
This gentleman's haircut is fine on the sides but it pops up on top of the
head, making the poor guy look like a cartoon character. That hasn't stopped
Colin Farrell, Orlando Bloom, and Jude Law from sporting the look at one time
or another."

Orlando to Star in and Co-produce "Haven"
From hollywoodreporter.com:
Orlando Bloom is set to star in and co-produce the crime drama
"Haven" alongside co-stars Bill Paxton and Gabriel Byrne for El Camino
Pictures and helmer Frank E. Flowers, who is making his feature debut on
the project. Joy Bryant, Victor Rasuk and Anthony Mackie also are on board to
star in "Haven," with shooting scheduled to begin this month in the Cayman
Islands. From a script by Flowers, "Haven" takes place over the course of one
weekend as two shady businessmen (Paxton and Byrne) flee to the Cayman
Islands to avoid prosecution from the federal government. Their escape
ignites a chain reaction that leads Bloom, a British native, to commit a
crime that has enormous implications.
Here's a similar news article from Variety posted by Stacie at the LOTRinfo group.
Troy! Oh Boy!
The teaser trailer for Troy is now online at Yahoo Movies. The official site is also up, with a few new production photos and info on the movie.
A lot of people have written in saying they saw the Troy trailer, as well as the ROTK trailer, before Matrix Revolutions.
Adrianne said: The trailer for RoTK was shown first and the audience
literally cheered at the begining and the end. When the trailer for Troy was
shown and Orlando showed up on screen, and in the credits, all the woman cheered.
BIFA Photos
I've added more photos from the British Independent Film Awards. Thanks to Guitarchick at ka-Bloom for the WireImage photos.
Hello Article
Hellomagazine.com has a small article on Orlando at the British Independent Film Awards.
Tatler Article
Posted by Nefret at ka-Bloom: The UK society Magazine 'Tatler' has just come out ( this is a sort of
combination of 'W'; 'Vanity Fair' and 'Town and Country') and they've done the
annual 'Little Black Book' - this is their list of the 200 most eligible men and
women in the UK, which gets a fair bit of publicity every year! It's not a list
of celebs but an all-around 'society' list - celebs are included only if they
are deemed important in 'wider social' sense. They list the top ten in order of
importance - and Orlando is no 1!! (He knocked last year's no 1, Prince Harry,
off his pedestal!)
According to the editor 'Bloom is the name, face, body
and mind all women would seem to feel happy having on their arm.' Elsewhere, it
also designated Orlando as being the one who 'will make Middle Earth move for
you'!
Mention on Jo Whiley
From Susan: Orlando was mentioned on Jo Whiley's show on Radio One (UK) yesterday. They spoke
about how they tried to interview him at the independent film awards, but he
wasn't interested. They also said however that they'd had him on the show
before and how lovely he was.

War of the Ring has posted scans from the The Return of the King Visual Companion.
Teen People
From Emily: Orlando is mentioned in the Dec./Jan. issue of Teen People (US) for... his role in ROTK- very small but it's still there on pg62, and then again on what he thinks
of Keira Knightley- also a small picture on pg72. It says: What makes
Keira sexy? "She's sweet, talented, and very beautiful. She's going to go the
distance. She was only 17 (when she worked on pirates) which I couldn't believe.
What did you think of her Pirates costume? "The corset number? You can keep the
corset thank you! She looked beautiful, though, but I think she would look
beautiful in anything."
Scope
From Steph: In October 17th's issue of Scope (which is a reading/writing classroom
magazine US), with Beyonce on the cover, they have a play all about JRR Tolien's
life. It tells you how his ideas came to him. They briefly mention the Lord of
the Rings. You can't buy it in store, but your teacher may have it.
Girlfriend and TV Hits
From Anon: In Australia's Girlfriend magazine (December issue
2003) Orlando came out top in the 2003 Gossip Girl Wwards for hottest
heart-throb! There is also a poster of Orlando from the POTC film - wet look.
In the Australian TV Hits magazine there is also an article on Orlando and a
poster of him at the LOTR premiere here in Sydney for the first installment!
LOTR Merchandise at K-mart in NZ
From Amanda: At K-mart in New Zealand they are
selling lots of LOTR items. Don't know exactly what sort of stuff there is
with Legolas apart from a Legolas pencil case that was advertised in the
paper.

Creme Magazine Scans
Marian sent in these scans from the November issue of Creme (New Zealand). ( 1, 2, 3, 4)
There was also an article, but it was the same one that was in Wetherspoon.
New Idea Magazine
From Marian: There was a mention in last week's issue of New Idea (Aus/NZ). The quote is
from Brad Pitt who tells of some words of wisdom that he imparted to
Orlando. They are "I told him to keep his pants on!" The photo of
Orli is a face shot from the Lili Claire benefit evening.
Orlando at British Independent Film Awards
Orlando attended The British Independent Film Awards at Po Na Na nightclub in west London
Tuesday Nov. 4th. The BIFA's are in their sixth year and are dedicated to
raising the profile of the independent film industry. Sir Ian McKellen took the Variety UK personality award which recognises the
career of a British actor who has had a huge international profile.
Here's a photo from Yahoo News.
V Graham Norton Video Clip
Sez has passed along a clip made by Vern, of Orlando's appearance on V Graham Norton. It is too large for me to post in it's entirety, so I will be making smaller clips and adding them one at a time.
The first clip is of Graham reading a thread on the In Bloom message board. Warning, there is some swearing.
Russian Vogue Scans
Infernal Angel sent in the article and new/old photos by Lorenzo Agius from the November issue of Russian Vogue.

Troy Video From Italian TV
From Raffie of bloomingfans.com:
On a local Italian TV News they showed short footage of Troy, where you can see Orli standing in front of
Helen and also a very quick scene where you can see a kiss between Paris and Helen. You can see the
footage online on that TV News site, here.
It's streaming and I'm afraid it'll be offline tomorrow, or even sooner
(I guess they update the site whenever they show the News on TV).
In short the comment on the footage says that Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and
Eric Bana star in the movie, talks a bit about the plot (for example there
will be no gods, only humans) and says that Troy is only one of the many
historical Motion Pictures from these years, a series that started with the
Gladiator. Finally they talk briefly about old Italian epic movies.
Super Scans
Elodie sent in this photo from the November issue of Super (France). Here is a scan of the interview, and from what I could read, it sounds fake.
There was also this poster, but she could only scan this part of it.
