Okay, I just had to add my two cents to this.....

Orlando Bloom is a soft faced sensitive type? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Okay, that was mean, I'm sorry, but if you've ever seen the guy out of costume, he just sorta strikes me as a pissy Brit-punk. And sorry to burst your bubbles, but he has very short black hair. Watch Black Hawk Down, it shows a little more range of his acting skills. If this WAS to be made into a movie though, I've got a strong feeling they'd just make it CG. If it was gonna be live action, it'd probably be done with Japanese actors, and I can't think of any off the top of my head....
