Orlando Bloom: two roles under one belt and injuries to rival Jackie Chan - Movie News - Interview

If the princely warrior Legolas in Peter Jackson's eagerly anticipated December movie Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring seems younger than his 2,931 years, it's either because elves are immortal, or because British newcomer Orlando Bloom, who portrays the ancient warrior, was only 22 when filming began.

As with J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy of novels, Fellowship is only the first of three movies which tell the epic story of a merry band of adventurers who set out to relieve their fantasy land, Middle Earth, of a great evil. All three installments were shot simultaneously, in New Zealand, and will be released at one-year intervals. The unusual production schedule required Bloom and other cast members to remain down under for nearly a year and a half. Even so, Bloom, now 24, has managed to wrap a second role--in another much-awaited project, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, due in 2002.
