Orlando Bloom Mounting Cross

Orlando Bloom is breaking out of the period pieces that have defined much of his career. Bloom and Vincent Cassel will star in The Cross, an escapist sci-fi story which will begin filming in Australia in July. Lord of War director Andrew Nichol will helm the picture.

Recent Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko has also accepted a role in the project. Bloom will play a man in the near future who is trying to cross a mysterious border which no one else has been able to. Cassel will play the border guard out to stop him, while Kurylenko will play female lead opposite the two.
