Irons in 'Kingdom'

Chris Gardner
Jeremy Irons has made his way to "Kingdom of Heaven" for helmer Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox. Irons joins a cast that includes Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, Eva Green, Marton Csokas, David Thewlis and Brendan Gleeson. Set in 12th century Europe and the Far East, the William Monahan-penned script revolves around a young peasant (Bloom), who becomes a knight, saves a kingdom and falls in love with a princess (Green) during the crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries. Irons will play Tiberias. Scott is producing through his Fox-based Scott Free Prods., with Branko Lustig serving as an executive producer. At Scott Free, the project is being overseen by Lisa Ellzey. At the studio, TCF topper Hutch Parker is overseeing. Shooting in Spain and Morocco, the film started lensing Monday. The Academy Award-winning Irons is repped by CAA. His recent credits include "Callas Forever," "And Now ... Ladies and Gentlemen," "Last Call" and the upcoming "Being Julia."
