Orlando Bloom, who played Legolas in Lord of the Rings, is set to become the next James Bond. Apparently, film producers are desperate to sign him up for the role as he seems to be the perfect fit for Pierce Brosnan. Bloom is 27 years old and holds a charisma that is needed for the Bond character.

"They are pulling out all the stops to get him," said a source. "Orlando would be perfect for the part as he's got the looks, the charm, the accent and the high profile that would make Bond even more popular."
"They want to move away from the traditional image of James Bond - the older, suave gentleman - and believe a younger, trendier actor will attract new fans."
A spokesman for Bloom said that "no decision had been made" about the role.
