Miramax signs new Bond
DO NOT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!
I'm not happy about it either. 🙁

Bloom bags Bond role
The name's Bloom, Orlando Bloom
It’s welcome back to the Roger Moore-style of acting with the news that teeny squeal fodder Orlando Bloom is to play James Bond in a film about 007’s early years.
And for Roger Moore-style, read wafer-thin hammy acting rather than bushy eyebrow raising and snide remarks about ladies and their bits.
Bloom-banga-Bloom has been signed by Miramax for a film “about Bond’s college days" (which is American for university) after the Ian Fleming-inspired character was expelled from Eton.
It is not believed to be called Bond: The Early Years.
The distinctly-average acting talent of Florida’s biggest attraction (Orlando, not Bond) will be stretched to their absolute limits as Bond gets into all sorts of junior spy capers on his way through tertiary education.
Although the billboards will probably say something a bit more zippy.
