OlderOrlando Bloom is the Prince of Persia
Orlando Bloom has landed the lead role in the next big budget franchise, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, according to recent reports.
Orly, 31, will rake in a reported $40 million for all three pictures. The first pic will be directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Donnie Brasco). June 2009 is the tentative release date and filming will start in Morocco.
If this is any measure of success, Bloom certainly knows how to make a successful threesome. Pirates of the Caribbean, anyone?
FYI: High School Musical hottie Zac Efron was also rumored to be in the running for the role. And remember, this casting news hasn’t been officially confirmed by legitimate news sources yet. So stay tuned!

He should play the role.

It’s been debunked as a rumour (thank God). So relieved he hasn’t signed himself for another action type role.
career suicide!

How about this guy. His name is Hrithik Roshan. He is a bollywood actor.

I think he is very good looking.
NO NO NO NO NO!!!
He’s not even Persian for God’s sakes! He can’t even carry a movie on his own. Remember Kingdom of Heaven? This had better be a joke.
Hopefully they won’t screw up on the casting for the upcoming Metal Gear movie. Please, let Christian Bale be Snake (and Liquid as well, he can pull it off better than anyone).
as much as i like him, i don’t think he can carry a movie by himself.
i’m tired of him
His PR Huvane is spreading this fake rumor because he doesn’t have any upcoming project.
OMG! Orli is perfect for that role! I will soooooo watch that movie!
*swoons*
Huvane isn’t his PR. He’s his rep from CAA. Furthermore, how does floating a false rumor (and a ludicrous one at that) help Orlando get an upcoming project? More likely the NEWS OF THE WORLD made this up as they do with just about everything.
omg, if zac is gunna be in it i will 100% watch this movie
orlando is hot, and so is zac
omg omg omg
and zac is gunnna have lots of movies coming out, im proud of him

4. footloose
5. prince of persia?
Orli and Zac Efron, totally out of the lead. Orli better stay and elf than seeing him potraying a dark prince. While Zac, he is more of the poster boys, sorry Zac, we like you but just stay cute till you find a better role than this one. They’re both good actors is just they dont fit to be the prince. If Viggo Mortensen were young, he would be a better cast than any of those two here. They need to bring a new face, some one who seems to have a dark secret persona.
jared, you should probably remove this post, or at least update as this announcement about orlando appears to be untrue…
and for all of you who are hating on zac for this role…i agree that the world is not quite ready for zac efron to be an action role. the high school musical stigma is still heavily upon him. however, i think he will suprise the hell out of all you in the coming years with what he’s got to offer the movie industry.
Mike Newell completely butchered Goblet of Fire. It was terrible! I don’t think I’ll watch any movies he’s directing.
How can they give that much money to someone who has yet to open a movie? He’s no Will Smith.
Can’t you read? The story was a lie. No one is giving anyone any money.
Disney denies it. End of story.
YESSS! love him! perfect. so gonna watch the movie
yaaaaaaaaaaay, hopefully he gets it! he’s perfect for the role! looove it
NOT BUYING THIS ROLE FOR HIM. Sorry, Orli!
lmfao @ zac efron in an action flick!!
THESE FILMS WILL B.O.M.B.
He is no Johnny Depp.
another epic, fantasy type movie. I want him to act in a normal movie so we can see if he has any real acting chops.
with that sad he was the finest elf when he was Legolas
ZACZACZACZACZAC!!!
