Appearantly Roman Polanski (The Pianist, Chinatown) is in talks with Orlando Bloom and Scarlett Johansson to star in his historical tentpole "Pompeii".
Pompeii is based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Robert Harris. Pompeii tells the story of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 through the eyes of a young engineer, who is sent to repair the greatest aqueduct in the Roman Empire, which brings water to 250,000 people on the Bay of Naples. He not only has to fight the corrupt forces that control the town of Pompeii, but ultimately the overwhelming power of nature itself.
The film has a projected August start with plans for a five month shoot. Polanski co-wrote the script with Harris.
