Amazon Studios annouces new first look deal with Orlando Bloom

Amazon Studios on Friday announced a new first look deal with the "Lord of the Rings" star Orlando Bloom. Under the new partnership, Bloom will work with Amazon Studios to create television and film projects that will premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories.

Bloom, who has played "Legolas" in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Will Turner in "The Pirates of the Caribbean" films, currently stars in Amazon Original hit series Carnival Row, alongside Cara Delevingne. "I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Jen Salke and the team at Amazon and I look forward to growing that relationship with this new and exciting production deal," Bloom said in a statement.

Calling Bloom a "fantastic creative talent and collaborative partner", Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, said, "We're thrilled to continue working with Orlando not only on Carnival Row, but on the future projects for our Prime Video customers." Bloom recently finished work on the John Ridley-directed "Needle in a Timestack" opposite Indian star Freida Pinto and Leslie Odom, Jr and "The Outpost", directed by Rod Lurie and produced by Jake Tapper.
