Lord Of The Rings star Bloom to begin work on new movie
Orlando Bloom is due to begin work on his new film in London on Monday.
Bloom stars in The Calcium Kid with Omid Djalili and David Kelly.
The film is a mockumentary comedy, in which Bloom plays young milkman Jimmy. He is an amateur boxer who by a bizarre twist of events ends up fighting the world champion in his home town.
It is the debut feature from writer/director Alex De Rakoff, whose previous work includes music videos for Ice T, Space, Bucketheads and N-Trance.
On a sidenote: Members of Buckethead have appeared on some of Viggo's CD and Viggo in return has provided photographs for some of their CD covers.

Be Still My Heart
Attention girls of Britain! You may have cried nightly into your pillow while Orlando Bloom was off filming The Kelly Gang in Australia, but the boy is back and may soon be filming on a set near you.
The former elf begins shooting The Calcium Kid in London this Monday and if you hear the caterwauling of a thousand screaming females, chances are that'll be the reason.
The film stars Bloom as a milkman and amateur boxer who, in an odd twist of fate, ends up in line to fight the world champion in his home town. Boyfriends beware.
