Orlando talks to ET about his character in Main Street.
Orlando Bloom plays a small-town police officer faced with risky business in the ensemble drama ‘Main Street,’ and ET has a sneak peek behind the scenes in Durham, North Carolina!
“I like these kinds of movies; I enjoy going to see a slice of life, the way [these] kind of people live,” says Orlando. “I like the idea of playing a cop; kind of thinking about how a cop goes about his daily life and what he comes up against.”Orlando perfected his Southern drawl for his character (he even gives his interview with an accent), and he says working with a coach “on the sounds” has “been fun.” Written by the late Oscar and Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote (‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Tender Mercies’), ‘Main Street’ follows a group of people in a small, down-and-out American town whose lives are shaken up by a mysterious stranger’s (Colin Firth) arrival on their Main Street, where he chooses to store hazardous waste in a warehouse.
“They’ve asked me to come over and take a look, and to me it’s a bit like I’m dealing with the cat in the tree issue,” explains Orlando. “And then I come in and I see all of these canisters laid out; they look pretty ominous.”
