Orlando Bloom lit a cigarette as he left the theater. He saw The Revenant and thought it was good, but not great. Perhaps the selling point was Hugh Glass wrestling with a grizzly bear, and Orlando admitted that it was terrifying.
His heart was pounding as he watched that scene. The grizzly bear was a dangerous beast and Orlando witnessed Hugh Glass almost being ripped apart by the creature.
Kazir was a great director, but that didn't an he could always make great movies. The CCU movies and Spider-Man were great, but Kazir also directed the first John Wick and Napoleon Dynamite. Both movies were middling at the box office.
Even soone like Kazir could never get consistent box office success.
Orlando Bloom wore sunglasses despite the dark night. He was a famous actor now that Lord of the Rings had beco successful. People easily recognized him, although they usually called him Legolas... This was the curse of getting unforgettable roles.
Matt Damon was known for being Jason Bourne, and people sotis call him Jason Bourne.
Even Robert Downey Jr. was sotis called Iron Man/Mr. Stark.
So people recognized Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. He was better known as Jack Sparrow.
This was the current problem that Orlando Bloom was facing. He was grateful that Lord Of The Rings was successful and he had a better position in the industry. But he also understood that his career was just beginning and he hadn't proven anything except being a good-looking guy.
He needed another role that could get him out of his predicant. He knew that The Lord of the Rings was only a trilogy and his fa would disappear once the Lord of the Rings trilogy was finished.
Smoking a cigarette, his heart stirred a little, knowing that his ti in this industry would be over if he didn't do sothing.
He rembered his co-star Viggo Mortensen. Viggo's status in Hollywood was much better than his. Lord Of The Rings and John Wick gave the actor the opportunity to increase his salary, and now he was getting many jobs with a starting salary of $10 million. How great was that?
The Lord of the Rings may be over, but John Wick was different. This franchise could be milked for many years to co. When Viggo started to lose his clout, he could just start another John Wick movie... Orlando was jealous of that fact.
Because he didn't have a franchise to hold on to. Once he made a mistake, his career was over. The cast of CCU was very lucky because they could have jobs whenever they wanted.
"Continental Cinematic Universe..."
Orlando Bloom muttered after stepping on the cigarette he had just finished puffing.
Orlando actually had a chance to be part of the CCU, but he didn't get the part. He auditioned for the role of Wesley Gibson and he thought he had a chance, he was very excited and happy about it.
Unfortunately, Ben Affleck took the role and the result made Orlando jealous.
Actually, Orlando Bloom was also a cast mber of Black Hawk Down just like Tom Hardy. But now Tom Hardy had a chance to work with director Grey and Tom Hardy's performance in The Revenant was amazing.
'Wanted and The Revenant...' Orlando shook his head.
Wanted beca the 3rd movie to gross over $1 billion at the box office! It was a great movie and people loved it.
If given the chance, Orlando wanted to go back in ti and correct his mistake. He didn't care if he lowered his salary to $100,000, Wanted was his gateway to stardom and he was willing to sacrifice his first salary just for that.
Now Orlando heard that Wanted 2 was in pre-production and that the director would be Fremont Smith.
Orlando could not help but sigh. He was jealous and he admitted it. This year he only had Legolas as a source of inco... The amount was great, but he wanted more. You know, as a person living in the expensive city of Los Angeles, he knew he needed more money to survive.
He rented a nice apartnt, but he still didn't have his own house.
He thought of signing any kind of comrcial just to make more money. Shampoo comrcials, shaving cream, jeans, anything that could make him money.
As he pulled into the parking lot, he noticed his phone ringing. It was from his agent. Orlando hoped it was good news.
"Frank, yeah, it's . Hm, I just left the theater. Of course I'm wearing sunglasses... Yes, so people are confused why I'm wearing sunglasses, but they didn't bother . What? You think I look like a junkie because I'm wearing sunglasses? Nonsense, with my handso face, no one will think that. So? What's the reason you called late at night?"
Orlando had just opened his car when his agent told him sothing interesting.
"A script? What kind of script? A pirate movie!? Frank, I know I only started acting 5 years ago, but that doesn't an I'm clueless. I know that pirate movies are cursed movies, no one in Hollywood is crazy enough to make this genre. So why did you even tell about this useless pirate script?"
Orlando's brow furrowed because his agent called him for sothing useless.
But the next statent his agent said to him caught his attention.
"You're not kidding, are you? Director Grey wrote the script and he wants to audition for a role?"
When Orlando heard this, his attention was imdiately rekindled.
He knew that pirate movies were bad, so he wanted to read the script before doing anything. However, he admitted that he was interested in working with Kazir Grey.
He got into his car and decided to go to the WMA headquarters to talk to his agent and read the script. By the way, WMA stands for William Morris Agency and everyone knows that Kazir and WMA had so bad blood...
