The film necessitated a budget in excess of $130 million, and this is clear given the movie's scope and proportions.
Period detailing is a tremendous part for a film like Kingdom Of Heaven. Scott turned to his Gladiator ally, Janty Yates, the lady who specialises in classic costuming, seen in other films like De-Lovely (starring Kevin Kline), Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins) and Enemy At The Gates (Ed Harris, Jude Law).
The results look awesome.
