"Orlando Bloom is to play the new James Bond.
However, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' heartthrob will not be replacing Pierce Brosnan as 007 - instead he will star in a movie about the suave spy' s younger days.
A source at Hollywood studios Miramax, who are making the film, revealed: "The story that Orlando will play Bond is true but we are doing a rather novel film about the young James Bond."

interesting prequel. I hope he chases alot of tail.
I’m have a difficult time picturing Legolas lighting a cigarette, ordering a very dry martini “Shaken, not stirred”, and flirting with Miss Moneypenny.
The elf Legolas from Lord of the Rings
Yes, like most actors, there is a 95% chance he's a lefty.
I'm sure some helpful little Freeper will come along and tell us just how much of a lefty he is -
Thus ruining my enjoyment of yet ANOTHER handsome young actor I like to watch. :)
Lets hope he is in full Bond mode!
I can't wait until the first movie comes out... Orlando Bloom is awesome!
Not sufficiently masculine for my taste. He was good in "Pirates," but in photos (as above) he looks very girly. And his admiration for Johnny Depp does suggest leftism :-).
Too girlish - I agree.
Connery was the best bond and he looked like a thug in a suit!
Madonna will be the new Moneypenny.
If he gains about 20 lbs, I think he'd be okay as Bond. As skinny as he is now, I think he'd look ridiculous in a tux.
What is an Orlando Bloom?
Come look at my 13-year-old daughter's room, and you'll know...
I never could get into the James Bond movies but after reading this I think I just might start to enjoy them!
