Orlando Bloom Pulls Out of Nick Hornby Film  3/18/08

British actor Orlando Bloom has upset movie bosses on his latest film An Education  - after he pulled out of the project just days before it began shooting.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star was signed to star in the film - which was penned by oft-adapted British novelist Nick Hornby - but had to cancel because of last minute schedule clashes.

The 30-year-old hunk has been replaced by Dominic Cooper - a relative unknown British actor who starred in the 2006 big screen adaptation of Alan Bennett's play The History Boys.

Producers had to act quickly to find a replacement for Bloom after shooting began last week on the movie (begs10Mar08).

Cooper will play a thirty something playboy in the coming-of-age drama who turns the life of a 17-year-old girl upside down in early-1960s London.

He joins a cast boasting a host of beloved British actors, including Emma Thompson, Peter Sarsgaard, Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina and Rosamund Pike.
