Bloom sings, Ruffalo directs in “Sympathy for Delicious”
Orlando Bloom wants to make one thing perfectly clear: he will not be cutting an album even thumbs-up reviews for his pipes as the charismatic front man The Stain in director Mark Ruffalo’s edgy rock music-infused film “Sympathy for Delicious” premiering here at the Sundance Film Festival. “I don’t think I’m going to be doing an album any time soon,” Bloom said Monday during a Q & A with the press at the Bing Bar on Main Street. “But I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed wailing around, having a lot of fun.” — Hollywood News
Hollywood storms Sundance
More indie darlings were being toasted at the premiere for Mark Ruffalo’s heavy-metal redemption tale Sympathy for Delicious—including Orlando Bloom. “It’s a different kind of muscle,” Bloom said. “You feel stripped of big sets and scenery.” (Or, in the case of this film, in which the actor plays a strutting goth rocker, a shirt.) Meanwhile, Ruffalo stroked his beard to demonstrate one of the perks of the facial hair he was sporting this weekend. “Some of the pretty girls do that,” he said. — Style.com
‘Sympathy’ for snowboarding: Mark Ruffalo and Orlando Bloom hit the Park City slopes
For even the biggest stars, the Sundance Film Festival can be fraught with stress over film reviews and the quest for distribution deals. Then again, for the biggest stars there are plenty of VIP distractions. Take Mark Ruffalo and Orlando Bloom, director and star, respectively, of rocker pic “Sympathy for Delicious.”
While press and potential buyers screened the flick, which costars Juliette Lewis and Laura Linney, the guys were treated to Oakley’s Learn to Ride snowboarding program. “Orlando needed no help. He’s really good,” an onlooker said of Bloom, who navigated the snow like a champ. — LA Times
Empathy for actors: Mark Ruffalo takes the director’s chair in Sympathy for Delicious
“We were fortunate to land (the cast) we did,” says Ruffalo, as he acknowledges the people sitting next to him on the leather couch, including Bloom, Tiefenbach, Lewis and, in a wheeled chair all his own, Thornton.
“It’s amazing to be directed by an actor,” says Bloom, who earned rave reviews from fellow cast members for his rocker chops.
Bloom says he relied on English rockers from the North, such as Ian Brown of the Stone Roses, for performance inspiration, but Ruffalo says the unique sounds in the film were inspired by Canada’s own instrumental oddballs, Do Make Say Think and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. “We wanted to keep it rough,” he says. — Kelowna
Orlando Bloom and Juliette Lewis ham it up in MTV’s Sundance photo booth
Delete the first two words from the Sundance movie title “Sympathy for Delicious” and you’re only left with one telling adjective: delicious. That’s the word we would use to describe the snapshot below of Orlando Bloom and Juliette Lewis. It was taken today at MTV’s Sundance Photo Booth. — MTV
Sympathy For Delicious review
Dean runs afoul of both incredibly arrogant lead singer The Stain (Orlando Bloom, definitely not as you’ve seen him before) and high-powered manager Nina (Laura Linney), who’s trying to get them signed. When it seems Dean might get a second chance, he discovers he’s aleready been replaced by this month’s hot new DJ. — Variety
After teaming briefly with Joe and becoming understandably overwhelmed with the attention he draws, Delicious allows himself to be turned into a sideshow. He joins a band whose narcissistic frontman (played with vigorous pomposity by Orlando Bloom) sees the laying-of-hands as a fame-ensuring gimmick and quickly loses himself in the rock life. — Hollywood Reporter
Caught! Orlando Keeps His Sexy While Flying
Orlando Bloom, hurrying through the Salt Lake City airport last night to hop on his delayed flight back to L.A. Orly, who was in Park City, Utah, to promote his Sundance flick Sympathy for Delicious, reminded us why he’s still somewhat in the public eye… His delish looks!
We can’t remember the last hit movie Bloom has been in since Pirates of the Caribbean (to which he also said he wouldn’t be returning), but while his career may be on hold a bit, his adorable charm most definitely is not.
Some of the flight attendants onboard were overheard talking about how they were quite smitten with O.B. and his cute little accent. But does his girlfriend, Miranda Kerr, have anything to worry about?
Nah, Orlando kept to himself mostly during the flight, as he was accompanied by a brunet, publicist-looking woman. However, we did hear Bloom didn’t mind all the female attention he received while out partying in Park City during his stay there. “Girls kept coming up to try and flirt with him, and you could tell he didn’t mind at all,” an onlooker tells us. “He would smile and talk with all the chicks that kept flocking to him.”
Don’t think Orlando is the new Gerard Butler though. He kept his hands to himself despite the groupie gals’ best efforts. No word if L.A. was O.B.’s final destination, as he wasn’t seen at baggage claim where loads of paparazzi were swarming. — E Online
