Orlando Bloom and actress-turned-punk rocker Juliette Lewis are to debut their new movie band at an afternoon concert in Los Angeles on Thursday (05Feb09).
The stars hope to pack The Palace venue with fans while they record a gig scene for their forthcoming film Sympathy for Delicious, which is being directed by actor Mark Ruffalo.
Select fans who show up for the free gig will be given lines and some may actually appear with speaking roles in the movie.
Sympathy for Delicious, which also stars Laura Linney and Christopher Thornton, follows a paralysed DJ, struggling to survive on the streets of L.A., who turns to faith healing and mysteriously develops the ability to cure the sick, although not himself.
The DJ then decides to cash in on his gift in exchange for his rock 'n' roll dreams.
This film is a radical departure for Bloom who shot to fame as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, a role he may reprise in The Hobbit if rumours are to be believed.
He went on to find more blockbuster success with Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which to many's surprise stretched three movies.
Since then he has moved away from the big budget blockbuster appearing in the West End stage and in New York, I Love You.
