He goes around with every other woman! Why can't he with Keira! I must contain myself till the premiere. *opens thing of oxygen and puts it on*
I love the fat fighter's club! "We all have cravings. What do you have cravings for? Ah, yes! Chucklet!" It's so retarded but hilarious! I like the guy in the wheelcahir too.

Yeah, that's too bad he didn't mention Keira, but I absolutely loved the part when they showed the first clip of the movie.... where it had many sequences of the Wiggles. lol.

They talked about the Will Turner action figure. It was funny though! It's still worth watching. The clip hardly had any dialouge, but there's so much stuff going on in this movie that it's hard to pick a clip without a spoiler. I liked the music! Evil cannibal music! DUN.DUN.DUN.

Orlando and Kate are set to be in a new film together :
Written and to be directed by Tim Blake Nelson, the film is about Janey (Bosworth) who takes refuge with a family after her grandfather’s suicide. When the son tries to rape her, she injures him badly. Not knowing if he is alive or dead, Janey flees and ultimately meets Ricky (Bloom), a dashing crook who is also on the run. With the law and two hired hitmen on their trail, Janey and Ricky engage in a frantic cross-country journey, trying to stay one step ahead of their pursuers.
Production is set to begin mid-July in Oklahoma and New Mexico. (www.star-ecentral.com)
i just hope they are doing it to make a good film - not just to make a flim together

Orlando Bloom, often private and relatively shy, walks into a Beverly Hills hotel room more buoyant than usual. Perhaps he has World Cup soccer on his mind, rather than pirates and stardom. "England's going to win, right?" he says, too loudly for comfort. But Bloom has reason to be pleased with himself, football madness aside. He recently escorted girlfriend Kate Bosworth to her Superman Returns premiere, giving her and his closest competition high marks. "It's great and I'm very proud of her."
Then when not promoting another blockbuster, the young Brit is relaxing during this Northern hemisphere summer. "I've been in London, hanging out, catching up with friends. It's been good, beautiful weather and watching the football." Yet as upbeat and relaxed as he is, Bloom is setting sail opposite heavyweights Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley in a second instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean, laughingly admitting that it was easy for the actor to rediscover his inner Pirate once again. "This time my character goes from being a straight-laced kind of upright stick in the mud to becoming more of a bit of a pirate in this one, thankfully. It was kind of like discovering my inner pirate for the first time in a way."
In the latest Pirates adventure, Captain Jack Sparrow discovers he owes a blood debt to the legendary Davey Jones, Captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. With time running out, Jack must find a way out of his debt or else be doomed to eternal damnation and servitude in the afterlife. Making matters worse, Sparrow's problems manage to interfere with the wedding plans of Bloom's Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann [Knightley], who are forced to join Jack on yet another one of his misadventures. Bloom says that playing a pirate is yet another way to fulfil the actor's childhood fantasies.
"My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier. I've really lived out all of my childhood fantasies, so "Pirates" wasn't like living out another childhood fantasy, but just a great opportunity to work with some great people (like) Johnny Depp. That was a big draw, having always admired him as a young actor. When I signed up to do the first one it was a matter of wanting to be on set with somebody like him, to see how he handles himself, to see how he goes about it, which was a real privilege."
Bloom is currently finishing the third Pirates movie, and doesn't feel quite so exhausted shooting both films back to back. "It's a real ensemble movie so it's not like I'm on the whole time, but it was a challenge in a way because you've got the arc of two movies to cover. You can shoot a scene from the second movie in the morning and the third movie in the afternoon and trying to remember where your character is emotionally at that point in the movie can be a bit more challenging. You just have to play the truth of the moment and thankfully we got great writers to create great stories and characters and develop it so it's not just one note."
It is not Bloom's first experience making more than one film as part of a series, simultaneously. There was, after all, that miniscule trilogy called Lord of the Rings, but Bloom is hesitant to draw too many comparisons between the two experiences. "Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to. But you still have to think about where in that development you are and sometimes, when you shoot one movie, you have to think about that anyway, but that's one movie. With two, a lot more time passes, and a lot more development happens, so you've got to keep jumping back and forward doing that kind of dance. The great thing about working on something like "Pirates," is that you don't really know what to expect. Going to see it, it's like a feast for the eyes."
In this Pirates movie, audiences will see a few hair raising moments, but the actor won't be drawn on whether there'll be equally frenzied moments in next year's Pirates conclusion. "How can they top this one? They seem to keep topping it. I'm trying to remember the third one, because we're still shooting." As to what is beyond Pirates 3, Bloom is keeping his options open. "There are a couple of things I'm looking at, but one of them I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing in the next couple of months or at the end of Pirates (3). It just depends on scheduling."
Bloom's career has skyrocketed, and with success, comes the inevitability of fame and tabloid reporting on his every movie. And the actor admits he hasn't reacted so well to the intrusions into his private life. "Terribly and awfully, if the truth be known. You tell me. How does it look from the outside? I can tell you it's terrifying on the inside." He smilingly adds that hides out from the paparazzi in "a couple of caves. I like to bury myself in them and stay right out of the limelight. It's a process, man." Yet pausing reflectively, he concedes that "I wouldn't change it, because I love to do what I do." Even if that means still fighting off teenage girls. "Bring 'em on! Fight them off? Don't be crazy. What do I look like?"
And for more of Orlando, the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven hits DVD shelves this month, and that alone, makes the actor's day. "I say go out and buy the long version, mate. I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version."

ComingSoon.net: Was it easy to rediscover your inner pirate? Orlando Bloom: Yeah. He goes from being a straight-laced kind of upright stick in the mud-Will-to becoming more of a bit of a pirate in this one, thankfully. It was kind of like discovering my inner pirate for the first time in away.
CS: What's the attraction of doing these films? Is it a fulfillment of your childhood fantasy? Bloom: My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies. I play characters that are larger than life. Getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, a soldier. I've really lived out all of my childhood fantasies. "Pirates" wasn't like living out another childhood fantasy. It was just a great opportunity to work with some great people [like] Johnny Depp. It was a big draw. I've always admired him as a young actor. When I signed up to do the first one it was to be on set with somebody like him, to see how he handles himself, to see how he goes about it, it was a real privilege. You learn as you go so I did that.
CS: Was it exhausting shooting the two films back-to-back? Bloom: It's a real ensemble movie so it's not like I'm on the whole time, but yeah it was a challenge because, you know, you've got the arc of two movies to cover. You can shoot a scene from the second movie in the morning and the third movie in the afternoon and trying to remember where your character is emotionally or whatever at that point in the movie can be a bit more challenging. You just have to play the truth of the moment and thankfully we got great writers to create great stories and characters and develop it so it's not just one note.
CS: How do you compare "The Lord of the Rings," where you shot three films back-to-back, to these two films? Bloom: It's not that different. "Lord of the Rings" was my first experience making movies. I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done. In a way, I had nothing to compare it to. You have to think about where in that development you are. And sometimes, when you shoot one movie, you have to think about that anyway. But that's one movie. With two, a lot more time passes, and a lot more development happens, so you've got to keep jumping back and forward doing that kind of dance. The great thing about working on something like "Pirates," is that you don't really know what to expect. Going to see it, it's like a feast for the eyes. It's a shocker.
CS: What's the scariest or the most challenging scene you've shot? Bloom: That's a good question. I think the wheel. Going upside down and stuff and sword fighting in there, I was all harnessed so I couldn't fall out, obviously. But it's just like, because of gravity, you're really reaching and at one point, the gravity takes you and you're still reaching, but it's pulling you the other way. That was really difficult. The birdcage was merely uncomfortable. Know what I mean? It was like running with that thing between your legs. You're watching for the crown jewels the whole time.
CS: You hurt yourself on a lot of other films. Bloom: I didn't hurt myself this time. Woo hoo! No injuries, really. I'm a lot more conscious about not getting injured now than I was before. It's about time, yeah.
CS: Do you feel more danger from scenes that have to top this? Bloom: Danger isn't the right word because it's a set. It's a controlled environment. It's fun. It's hard. Running backwards on top of a wheel was really difficult as it's rolling down a hill. But no danger. What's great about this film is that they did top [the first]. How do you top pirates going skeletal in the moonlight and coming out? That's a hard thing to do. But I think the mythology of Davy Jones and the ocean that tops it. Johnny Depp's entrance [in the first one], how do you top a ship that sinks down and then he steps onto the dock? How do you top that? It's really hilarious the way he enters this movie. You know what I mean? It's brilliant. It tops it in a different way. You can expect more as well [in the third].
CS: How did you develop the relationship with Keira this time? Bloom: I know. Can you believe she's snogging Johnny Depp? What is going on?
CS: Was it fun? Bloom: Yeah. The first movie was one movie and we weren't sure it was going to become two movies. I remember being at Disneyland with Johnny, we're all sitting around with Jerry [Bruckheimer] and we're saying, let's do a pirate movie for the rest of our lives. That's when [it dawned on us] they were going to do more. It wasn't a done deal in my head [that they'd make sequels]. What's cool about it is that the talent, the writers, the vision of Jerry and Disney and everyone and Gore [Verbinski], particularly, they took what was a one-off movie, but because of what was already there on the page in terms of character-development, they were able to really take it somewhere, and that's a credit to the writers and that first movie. If it hadn't been great and the characters were too one-dimensional it would have been difficult to make more than one movie. But because of what was on the page, it was possible to make it into another movie, and then a third movie. Well, let's make a pirate movie for the rest of our lives.
CS: Do you feel you're in the home stretch? Bloom: I don't know. I feel we're going to go back and attack it again. Yeah, we're in the home stretch. Definitely.
CS: Can we expect something more precarious in the next one? Bloom: How can they top it? They seem to keep topping it. I'm trying to remember the third one. We're still shooting.
CS: Are you taking a break after "Pirates 3?" Bloom: There's a couple of things I'm looking [at], but one of them I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing it in the next couple of months or at the end of "Pirates" (3). It just depends on scheduling.
CS: Johnny says he's up for more. Bloom: Dude, I know, man. I can't blame him. I remember watching the first one and seeing what Johnny did and what Geoffrey [Rush] did and I was like these guys have "freedom" tattooed across their foreheads and they're doing it. And I'm playing this straight guy. But it wasn't until I saw it that I understood that you can't have one without the other. I am the foil to his [wacky character]. This one is different because its' a real ensemble and you've got Davy Jones and Keira's the beauty and the sword-kicking, ass-kicking beauty at that.
