Bloom Finds Indie 'Haven' at El Camino

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Orlando Bloom is set to star in and co-produce the crime drama "Haven" alongside co-stars Bill Paxton and Gabriel Byrne for El Camino Pictures and helmer Frank E. Flowers, who is making his feature debut on the project.
Joy Bryant, Victor Rasuk and Anthony Mackie also are on board to star in "Haven," with shooting scheduled to begin this month in the Cayman Islands.
Scripted by Flowers, "Haven" takes place over the course of a weekend as two shady businessmen (Paxton and Byrne) flee to the Cayman Islands to avoid prosecution from the federal government. Their escape ignites a chain reaction that leads Bloom, a British native, to commit a crime that has enormous implications.
Bloom ("Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl") will segue from "Haven" to "Kingdom of Heaven," the Ridley Scott (news) epic for 20th Century Fox.
The role in "Haven" marks the first time Bloom has acted for a first-time helmer.
The 24-year-old Flowers wrote and directed the short film "Swallow," which won the HBO short film award at the American Black Film Festival
