Bloom's the right kind of lead for the kind of film Scott wanted to make - and KoH is NOT Gladiator 2. Sadly, I think general historical epic fatigue, and the fact that this is really a political film and not an action film, will do it a lot of harm. But people will say it's Bloom's fault for not being Russell Crowe, and as Orlando is the unproven name in this (Ridley's next, In Her Shoes, has Cameron Diaz and is even lightly tipped for Oscars, so he'll have another hit there) the blame might be laid at his feet.

Yeah... I see what you mean... but even though it did well at the box office... Bloom came across as really weak in the film... and audiences knew it. He's still bankable... but if KOH is bad... or if Bloom does badly in it... then he suddenly becomes not such a sure thing. Don't ya think? Hey there Tom!

Someone told me it was the UK's biggest box office earner of the year, and certainly outdid one of the biggies - maybe Shrek, maybe Spidey. Anyway, even if it didn't outdo those giants, it took serious money! The Shrek comment was meant to be a question, by the way.

Troy wasn't great, but it wasn't Catwoman bad. And neither was its box office. Didn't it earn more than Shrek 2 in the UK. All the studios care about is the dollars, in which case I think it's safe to say that Troy was another step on the ladder in convincing Fox that Orlando could work as a BANKABLE lead for Kingdom of Heaven. Now, the fact that KoH is either too long, or too short, whichever way you look at it, and won't play at all well to Orlando's target audience of screaming girls, many of whom won't be able to get in to see it... that's a far more serious threat to his career than Troy.
