"Elizabethtown" to be another upcoming movie? posted on January 9, 2004 Roxana writes: Ok, it's not official, but Orlando is MOST LIKELY to be cast to director Cameron Crowe's new movie "Elizabeth Town" (the title is pending). Orlando took Ashton Kutcher's spot in the movie (the lead, although I do not know the name of the character), as Orlando and Cameron are good friends, although it was told to me (by Cameron's neice) that Ashton was not doing his work correctly (coming to work and not having his lines memorized) and thus was replaced. (Orlando was previously in a Gap commercial directed by Crowe). Just thought I'd tell (as I am very excited! I may be able to meet him and get some GOOD pictures!). Hope he keeps the role, this sounds like it would be a great movie! More from Coming Soon: According to Variety, Orlando Bloom has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Ashton Kutcher in director Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown. Bloom is in talks to star opposite Kirsten Dunst in the drama, portraying a suicidal young man who returns to his small Kentucky hometown of Elizabethtown following the death of his father. The "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" star would not be able to start on the film until he completes work toplining on director Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, a Crusades-era epic that begins lensing this month in Morocco for 20th Century Fox.
