Bloom Reshot King Scenes
25 June 2003
Sci Fi Wire report on Orlando going back to re-shoot some scenes from The Return Of The King.
"I did the reshoots a few weeks ago," Bloom said in an interview while promoting his upcoming film Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. "[Director Peter Jackson] loved the audience's reaction in the first movie [to] Leggy running over the back of the cave troll and killing the cave troll, and then in the second movie, sliding down the stairs and jumping [off] the horse. And in the third movie, he's kind of combined a whole load of stuff. So it's like another one of those sort of Leggy moments." Click the link for the full article.

Pirates Gets PG-13 Rating
24 June 2003
The LA Times reports: Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who's built a career on high-velocity action pictures, was turned off when Disney Studios sent him a script for a movie version of its theme park ride "Pirates of the Caribbean."
It was bland, too tame, he told the Disney brass. After all, he's the man who brought the masses "Top Gun," "Armageddon" and "Bad Boys." Still, he was intrigued and brought aboard some like-minded creative types to jazz up the project.
He promised two things to Disney executives bankrolling the $140-million film: "I'll make the best movie possible and it won't be an R." Click the link for the full article.
