Also, it's got more than 15 extra minutes, from all other reports I've read. Looks like someone did very little research for the piece. I assume they're talking about the theatrical edition, and just got the facts mixed up.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm crying with laughter at the idea of Bloom being Bond. Dear lord.

OK, Bloom can wear a tux well. And strips out of it nicely, too. But he shouldn't even be thinking about playing Bond for another decade.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Maybe the Bond people are trying to jump on that wildly popular "Spykids" franchise and doing a Bond Jr. movie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think he'd be an incredibly effective Bond. I can just picture it -- he introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond," and then saves the girl, deactivates the laser aimed at the moon, and then drives away in his invisible car while the villains are still doubled over laughing.

This, but with more CGI flipping. Uh, yeah I agree, give Orli a call in another ten (twenty) years.

Look how long it took Pierce to be ready.
Oh, I can totally see Orlando being a slick killer spy. That's no problem.
JUST NOT BOND. NO ONE HIS AGE CAN BE BOND, and without having seen the weight he put on for Kingdom of Heaven no one his build can either.
Also maybe a little beautiful.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Yeah, gotta jump on the "Not as Bond" band-wagon.
Bloom is entertaining and all, but...well, it's Special Agent: Cody Banks 3...This Time He's Really British!
Feh.

I love Orlando as much as the next gal, but the next James Bond is gonna be Hugh Jackman. *nods*
