Ridley Scott's KINGDOM OF HEAVEN trumpets its arrival online!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... well it isn't on Apple's Quicktime site yet, but it is on Yahoo in a pretty nice size file that looks just gorgeous. I'm talking of course about the new Ridley Scott film KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, and folks - the trailer is just stunning. There's a part of me that wishes Ridley would score this with more brass, more drums... and less of the type of music he had in BLACKHAWK DOWN and GLADIATOR, but I understand - he's not really making a film about heroes, but of men in times they wish had never existed... and that isn't a time of Erich Wolfgang Korngold. He's reaching for truth instead of mythology - and I just wish... well, I love the fantasy, but then - I've never seen this take on the Crusades before and I'm excited as hell about it. The trailer indicates classic knights in armor era Crusades - and I have no doubt Ridley is going to show the Moors just wiping the ground of these onward Christian soldiers... at least, I believe that's what history showed here... if this is in fact the Crusade I think it is.
