Orlando Bloom is in talks to star in Horton Foote's final movie Main Street, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The plot revolves around residents of a small US town who find their lives disrupted when a stranger arrives. Bloom will play a local police officer.

Andrew McCarthy has also boarded the ensemble cast, which includes Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson and Colin Firth.

Award-winning British theatre director John Doyle is making his feature film debut with Main Street.

Foote, a playwright whose film work includes To Kill A Mockingbird, Hurry Sundown and Tender Mercies, passed away earlier this month.
