Orlando Bloom... interesting little tidbit.

...about the million for two minutes. Not sure how anyone can know for sure just how much screentime the character will have until after the editors are done with it.
 
Can't see them making that kind of investment for just a 2 minute cameo. I'm sure Lego will get more screen time in There and Back Again.
 
It's not confirmation and/or new info...considering the amount of time Bloom is spending in NZ, I'd think it's safe to say that he'll be a significant presence in the films...perhaps he and Tauriel may be a team - the Thelma and Louis of Mirkwood? I suppose Evangeline would be Susan Sarandon, which would make Orlando Bloom Goldie Hawn?
 
enough people complaining about him having anything more than a cameo and decided to buy him off... I can only hope[crazy]
 
Is that U.S. greenbacks?

You know what I'd do first with a million bucks, Orlando? Since we're name dropping here...

(What do you think he smells like? I bet he's into a woody musk type cologne. My best personal advice there.)

But this is business...and I'm pessimistic.

Investment-grade debt and bonds of industrial corporations...stay safe. Any investment...stock, bond, derivative, venture round...can fail. Moody's may downgrade 17 global financials, so review last year's change in value there, they performed below all the other commodities. People don't buy and hold, then hedge with diversification of the portfolio...when so many public and private companies, and not too long ago I may add...were placed into administration, liquidation, or receivership.

It is better to miss a few points on an uptick, than lose it all on the correction, so I wouldn't even get into real estate, let alone equities. I'm not sure about the 30 year T-bond. I used to think commodities were safe last year, but the liquidity trap factor and all this I'm reading on the internet about demand in the United States this year.

That's what I would do with a million bucks. I'd live below my lifestyle, plus invest in a home with renewable energy technology, somewhere out in the boons.

If he only had to shoot two minutes worth of footage (which could be done in a matter of days), he wouldn't have needed to travel back and forth to New Zealand over the course of several months.
 
I remember it from back when Orlando was first announced as returning to the role of Legolas (or around then).

Anyway, rumour or not, it makes no logical sense that he (or any actor for that matter) will be in these film for a total of 2 minutes after having filmed for so many months. Really, sometimes I think these news sites just copy and paste related tidbits to flesh out their articles, regardless of whether they make any sense or not [crazy]
 
I think we're not going to see a whole lot of him, to be sure. Peter has all ready acknowledged the difficulties of characterizing 14 heroes all on the same journey, though that's not to say he won't also characterize the side characters, it is an indication that the links to Lord of the Rings, while present, will not eat up screen time. Obviously Elrond has to have his part in the story, as does Gollum, but PJ's a good enough filmmaker to make this film by itself. No one should or can expect a stand alone work here, but they shouldn't expect it to be bogged down by continuity either. Excited to see what side of Legolas will come out.

Yes, I don't expect 20 mins of non-stop Legolas. But if he is being paid that much for 2 mins of screentime, then something has gone seriously wrong!
