Orlando Bloom fan? What do you mean is he still alive, he's the finest forehead actor in the world. Okay, he's the only forehead actor in the world... and he can't really act.Anyway, that doesn't really matter, because he's coming to Dublin to shoot a movie - that probably won't be going straight to DVD.
Bloom will star opposite the very lovely and talented Amanda Seyfried, Glenn Close and Jonathon Rhys Myers in Albert Nobbs - which is to start filming this June in the capital. According to Deadline, it's based on a play that Close starred in, and she'll also co-write the script.
Rodrigo Garcia, who has directed a tonne of shows for HBO, is on helming duties. Great to see another major production shooting here. Our hard working and talented crews need the clams.
