Orlando Bloom Eyed for Red Circle

Director Johnnie To is eyeing Orlando Bloom to star in Red Circle for France's Studio Canal, a spokesperson from To's production shingle Milkyway Image said Tuesday. While an offer has gone out to the actor, negotiations have not yet begun.

The film is a remake of the 1970 Alain Delon crime thriller Le Rouge Cercle. Longtime To collaborator Wai Ka-Fai (Mad Detective) is developing the script under the helmer's supervision, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Chow Yun-Fat and Liam Neeson are in negotiations to co-star in the Media Asia co-produced project, which has a reported $40 million budget and is tentatively scheduled to start production in June in Hong Kong and Macau.

    um..i kinda came to this thread to bash bloom...but since you kinda called that one i will say this. he was a p*ssy in Troy and a hard ass in LOTR. he needs to be in more tough guy roles cuz hes startin to bugg me with all his wussy-ness. but if liam neeson and Yun-Fat are on the project then you kno there is some sweet things brewing here
