Orlando Bloom Hits Sarajevo Film Festival

Orlando Bloom Hits Sarajevo Film Festival

Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom announces his stepping aside from big movie productions to work in a film about life in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo during the 1992-95 siege at a meeting on Tuesday in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The film is based on the book Fools Rush In by American writer and filmmaker Bill Carter who lived in Sarajevo at the height of the siege. It will be directed by Brazilian director Andrucha Waddington.

“A film is a very specific and personal account of Bill Carter’s experience in Sarajevo during the war and we would very much like to make the film here,” the 31-year-old actor said. “This is a departure from the very big Hollywood productions. I’m not in fact playing Bill in this movie but I read the script and the very human story at the very core of this film spoke to me very clearly.”

That was rude! I am not playing dumb. All I gather from posts here is that “he can’t act, she looks like a gabbage patch, and she had a boyfriend when they met” Hardly cause for such venom towards them. I thought maybe someone knew something about them behaving really horribly. Sounds like the normal crap to me.

Anyways…

So I’m glad he’s finally doing another film. I hear Liam Neeson and Javier Bardem are on board as well. I’m really excited about this!

I am not trying to cause trouble. Was just honestly wondering. He seems like a decent guy to me. Relax

Yes he is a decent guy , I’m happy with his new movie and hope he will do great job and get out of all that mess he put himself in and return to be that decent guy who we used to enjoy to watch .

Actually, not to butt into your squabble, but it looks to ME as if you ARE trying to stir things up. Why can’t you just let it be, and allow this to continue to be what it was before you opened your yap …….a drama-free, MK free, NICE thread about his latest project??

We’re talking about O R L A N D O and his career here, please.

For real, that was not my intention. I could care less about MK. Didn’t even know her until OB. I just asked here because it was the most recent news/posts about OB. Sorrrry
Can we say objectivity?
Its either peole worship the ground he walks on or he’s a total scum????
No worries, no more questions from me, just killin time at work anyway.

If someone is expecting some set ups of Orlando and Miranda, hey, do you really think that they showed themselves for you? Silly people!
They are on a good vacation, apart from you and from the paps

Orlando is working not on a vacation read up he has a new movie and nobody talked about expecting set up who care : /

Be sure, someone is waiting for this, to write more **** on him

The comments in this thread are all about Orlando’s trip to Sarajevo and the new project he’s producing there. Take your sad, delusional ramblings and seek professional help.

Seek you professional help!

haha you just know that this film is going straight to DVD, this guy couldn’t even open up an envelope let alone a movie

“If someone is expecting some set ups of Orlando and Miranda, hey, do you really think that they showed themselves for you? Silly people!

Oh really? That would be a real change. Thanks for filling us in. Unfortunately, set ups and pap shots are par for the course with these two and have been since last fall, starting with Ago and Villa restaurants. Without the pap shots, there’s no proof that they’re really vacationing together, and it seems at least one of them - namely Miranda - wants very much to prove they’re an item. Nice of Bloom to let her do all the work and all the talking. I guess if he were more secure in himself as an actor and as a man, he wouldn’t need to play the PR games. Fingers crossed that all this current buzz about upcoming acting gigs is real and not another “An Education” or “Seasons of Dust” bust. Till I see photos of Bloom on set, I think it’s all fluff - like his ‘relationship’ with Miranda.

Hopefully, the work reports will become real very soon.

What was that that you were saying about them not showing up for pap set-ups in NY? Well check out the new thread, they had the paps waiting at the store for them to pull up, looking right at them. So much for them being “apart from the paps” huh? That’s the “show” part of the “showmance”. Face it honey, they only exist in front of the paps and it’s all for show.
