Mystery Solved? Is Bloom actually remaking THE RED CIRCLE!!!

Original article was accidentally deleted and is now in the vast abyss of the Internet Afterlife. Fuck!

It was a long ass article telling you that Orlando Bloom had dropped out of An Education, the Nick Horny scripted movie which began shooting today. His replacement is Dominic Cooper. All this is detailed in Coming Soon.

The other tidbit and far more juicy news was that Bloom was instead to star in a remake of Jean-Pierre Melville’s stylish classic movie The Red Circle, a news which really bugged and irritated me actually. The remake is to be shot from Korean maestro director Johnny To.

You can find more out about the original classic HERE.

Don’t you just hating losing long-ass articles?

Can’t believe they are remaking this great film.

British thesps (and Peter Sarsgaard) to get AN EDUCATION from Nick Hornby!!

Peter SarsgaardWow, I didn’t know anything about this project before today but it sounds like it’s pretty far down the line.

Nick Hornby, one of my absolute favourite authors whose genius comedy works HIGH FIDELITY, ABOUT A BOY and FEVER PITCH have all been turned into cool movies, has his first “made for film” tale ready to shoot next month in London.

The project is set in the 1960’s and is a coming of age tale about a witty and attractive 17-year-old, whisked off her feet by an unsuitable thirtysomething guy, who dazzles her with the high life. Carey Mulligan, the up and coming actress from PRIDE AND PREJUDICE will lead as the 17 year old, whilst Peter Sarsgaard will play the older guy.

Also in the movie are British theps Orlando Bloom, Rosamund Pike, Alfred Molina, Emma Thompson, Sally Hawkins and Olivia Williams.

Movie is produced by Endgame Entertainment and BBC Films, and it will be directed by Danish helmer Lone Scherfig who will be making her English language film debut.
