Orlando Bloom Spoke to Director Andy Serkis About New ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movies and Wants to Return: If Peter Jackson ‘Says Jump, I Say How High’


When asked if he wants to return for the new live-action 'Lord of the Rings' movies, Orlando Bloom said if Peter Jackson 'says jump, I say how high?'

A few days after Ian McKellen expressed interest in returning as Gandalf in Peter Jackson’s new live-action “ Lord of the Rings ” movies, his co-star Orlando Bloom is adding his name to the list. While the new “Lord of the Rings” movies are still in development at Warner Bros., McKellen said earlier in September, “I’ve just been told there are going to be more films and Gandalf will be involved and they hope that I’ll be playing him. Bloom looked back on his “Lord of the Rings” tenure inside Variety ‘s Toronto Film Festival Studio, sponsored by J.Crew and SharkNinja, while promoting his boxing drama “The Cut.” The film, directed by Sean Ellis and co-starring John Turturro and Caitríona Balfe, made its world premiere on Thursday, Sept. 5 at the festival.
