A spin-off film based on "The Hobbit"-- the elves especially -- seems to be on actor Orlando Bloom's mind these days.

The star, known for playing Legolas in the movie franchise, seemed too keen keen to make a home movie spin-off version of the fantasy film, where violent, tantric sex-loving elves could get "down and dirty", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

During an appearance on talk show "Conan", he said: "I was doing press with Evangeline Lilly and Lee Pace recently, who both play elves, and we thought we might do an elven spin off. We could do an elven spin-off ourselves, you know. Get some iPhones, and some GoPros. And the elves annihilate middle Earth, tantric sex style, down and dirty.

"A bit of elven love, and some violence... get dirty. Low budget movies make lots of money."

On a serious note, Bloom doesn't expect another movie is to be adapted from J.R.R Tolkien's books.

"To be honest, the truth is there won't be, because J.R.R Tolkien has the rights, the estate hold the rights for both "The Hobbit" and "Lord of The Rings", but nothing else," he added.
