Swashbuckling Orlando takes his cue from Errol Flynn
Irish Independent
No wonder people are slow to recognise Orlando Bloom in the flesh. Up till now he's been best known as the 2,931-year-old immortal elf Legolas Greenleaf from The Lord Of The Rings, although in real life the actor bears no resemblance to his most famous screen character. "Legolas was cool because the blond wig and blue contacts were a nice disguise." The Orlando sitting opposite me today has dark hair that can only be described as a bouffant/mullet hybrid. Gone too is Legolas' translucent complexion, in its place a nutty brown tan.

Urban rides again in King
Scifi Wire
Karl Urban—who reprises the character of Éomer in the upcoming third Lord of the Rings film, The Return of the King—told SCI FI Wire that his character plays an important role in the finale. "He aids the Fellowship to achieving their goal of distracting ... Sauron," Urban said in an interview. He added, "It's just going to be epic. We've got the battle of Pelennor Fields. We've got Shelob. We've got the assault on Mordor, you know? It's just going to be absolutely massive."
Urban added that his character will appear throughout the film, unlike the last installment. "In The Two Towers, I was in the first 30 minutes, and then I sort of ride in and bring the cavalry. But in this film, I'm sort of sprinkled in ... throughout the film. ... Lots of fighting. Lots of tension. And you know, Éomer being at that point convinced to doing the job, to following the orders of the King [Viggo Mortensen]. ... For Éomer, the sort of climax ... of his character is really an emotional one, when he finds [his sister] Éowyn [Miranda Otto] on the battlefield, and she's not supposed to be there." Return of the King opens Dec. 17.

Johnny Depp. Then they show the clip where he gets slapped by Anamaria and say
that you can still see him in POTC now playing. Then they show a clip of
Keira from Bend it Like Beckham. It's pretty much a minute long or so.
