Did you know
ā¢ Sir Ridley Scott disowned the theatrical cut. He claims that the Director's Cut is the definitive version.
ā¢ Edward Norton was briefly considered for the role of Guy, but upon reading the script he lobbied for the role of King Baldwin. Because the King appears behind a mask, he requested not to be credited. However, his name was put back in the video releases of the film.
ā¢ Director Ridley Scott and writer William Monahan felt that the unnamed character played by David Thewlis was an embodiment of God, or at the very least, an angel on a mission from God. Two scenes in the Director's Cut strongly hint at it; when the character seemingly disappears after a conversation with Balian, and where he seems to "resurrect" Balian after he is attacked and injured by three assassins.
