Fox embarks on Crusades

[soleft]

Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox are mobilizing the Crusades-era epic "Kingdom of Heaven" for a January production start in Morocco.
The film will be Scott's next directorial effort and the first since he and brother Tony set their Scott Free banner to an overall Fox deal. Scott will also produce the William Monahan-scripted film.

Pic is as ambitious as Scott's Oscar-winning Roman epic "Gladiator." Set in the 12th century, the drama focuses on a young blacksmith who becomes a knight and helps defend Jerusalem against the Crusaders. There is also a love story, as the young knight falls in love with a princess. Scott is actively casting and word is that "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Orlando Bloom is atop the list.

I thought knights were the Crusaders. Maybe this pic will be about someone who has leap of consiousness and fights for the oppressed? Otherwise - Fox - Crusaders = :scared:
