MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY

An epic marvel that’s as beautifully acted as it is visually awesome, Kingdom of Heaven stars Orlando Bloom as Balian, a Jerusalem blacksmith who has lost his family - and his faith. But when his father (Liam Neeson) shows him his destiny, Balian vows to defend his country, and in the process, falls in love, becomes a formidable leader, and steps forever into history.

One of the great visionary story-tellers of the modern age, three-time Oscar®-nominated director Sir Ridley Scott* (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) brings to DVD an original and extended version of his latest cinematic masterpiece, Kingdom of Heaven, arriving as an all-new four-disc collector’s edition on May 23, 2006 from Fox Home Entertainment.

An epic tale of brutal idealism and passionate warfare, Kingdom of Heaven Director’s Cut delves deeper into the personal philosophies, moral ambiguities and political principles behind the bloody Crusades with an entirely new cut of the film. In addition to almost an hour of new and innovative footage, the comprehensive four-disc collection also features thorough bonus materials, including audio commentary by Scott and his illustrious production staff, as well as historical information, insights into the meticulous recreation of medieval times and an extensive examination of the film’s theatrical development.

With an all-star cast that includes Orlando Bloom (Lord Of The Rings trilogy), Liam Neeson (Batman Begins), Jeremy Irons (Reversal Of Fortune) and Eva Green (The Dreamers), Kingdom of Heaven also boasts a production team whose collective credits encompass some of the top epic films of all time, including Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart and Armageddon.
