ORLANDO Bloom has landed another lucrative trilogy. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor has landed the lead role in Disney’s “Prince of Persia” in a deal worth a reported $40 million. The 31-year-old Brit beat Zac Efron and David K. Zandi, who claimed to be a real-life Persian prince and campaigned for the role by declaring he’d won a poll of 17 million viewers. The new films, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and based on the same-named video game, will be the third trilogy for Bloom, who also appeared in the “Lord of the Rings” movies.
