Director Johnnie To wants Orlando Bloom to star in new crime thriller Red Circle.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that Bloom has been offered a role in the film, a remake of 1970 heist movie Le Rouge Cercle, which starred Alain Delon and Yves Montand.

Chow Yun-Fat and Liam Neeson are currently in talks to star in the project for France's Studio Canal.

Wai Ka-Fai, who formed production company Milkyway Image with To in 1996, is working on the script.

The film is scheduled to begin shooting in Hong Kong and Macau in June.
