Designin' with Orlando
In the upcoming movie Elizabethtown, Orlando Bloom stars as a brilliant twenty-seven-year-old design genius, working for the Oregon-based Mercury Shoes. He follows in the footsteps of Julia Roberts (Runaway Bride) and Eva Marie Saint (North By Northwest) portraying one of the most coveted roles in all of Hollywood: the industrial designer.
As the script opens, Drew has just discovered that the new sneaker he's designed, the Spasmotica, has been deemed the greatest failure in the history of the shoe industry and its recall alone will cost Mercury upwards of 972 million dollars.
Yikes. Maybe I won't submit that portfolio to Nike after all...
