来自Variety:
It's official Orlando will star in 'Kingdom of Heaven'
Variety, 10/29/03
It's official, Variety.com reports that Director Ridley Scott has set Orlando Bloom to star in Kingdom of Heaven, an epic love story that he will shoot in Morocco beginning January 12 for 20th Century Fox. The director said he had "wanted to do a film with knights in armor, but thought why do some homogenous story when screenwriter William Monahan came up with such rich history? He based this drama on accurate research, which he spent 19 months compiling and writing." The film, which takes place in the 12th century during the time of the Crusades, will be staged on a scale that Scott described as being slightly larger than Gladiator, his Oscar-winning epic. Bloom is best known for playing Legolas in Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and the summer blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean," for which he has signed a sequel deal. Bloom will also play Paris in Wolfgang Petersen's upcoming Troy.
