Orlando Bloom to Star in ‘The Cross’

Orlando Bloom has signed on to star in ‘The Cross’, a sci-fi thriller to be directed by Andrew Niccol (‘Lord of War’ and ‘Gattaca’). Â  Vincent Cassel and Olga Kurylenko have also signed on.

Set in a border town in the near future,  Bloom plays a man seeking to cross a mysterious border, something no one else has achieved; Cassel is the guard who will go to any lengths to foil him.

The film is scheduled to begin production  in July in Australia.
