Can anyone here help us out with a translation of this Spanish (I think) article...
http://www.diariocordoba.com/noticias/noti...asp?pkid=104438Its from the time of the filming of KOH. as well as Orlando, Ridley Scott and Liam Neeson are mentioned and there area couple of pictures which are leading me to think that it could possibly be something in connection with an event that we have listed in the Timeline: 7 February: Orlando attends a reception by the local council for the film maker and actors of Kingdom of Heaven, Palma del Rio, Cordoba, Spain.
Any help would be appreciated. :thankyou:
"The Dukes of Lugo, Infanta Elena and Jaime de Marichalar, accompanied by his two sons, arrived about ten in the evening to the guesthouse in San Francisco today to visit the filming of The Kingdom of Heaven. The Duke of Lugo greeted as a sign of courtesy to the mayor and members of the municipal corporation, apologized to the Infanta Elena indicating arriving tired from a long journey, London. Jaime de Marichalar said that "we had a desire to come to Palma del Rio."
The director Ridley Scott attended a reception last night at the guesthouse in San Francisco by the City palmeño stating "sorry for clothing and boots stained, because I have worked from seven o'clock." He noted that the shooting at the end of the first month and remaining three and a half months, stressed "shoot movies like these is like a marathon and we have done so far the first four miles".
Ridley Scott said: "It is ironic when I wake up at night and I see a monk and an Indian in the room, although not very clear what I was to do with a building in San Francisco and Los Angeles and we assured all that this relationship is going to like a lot. "
ORLANDO BLOOM Actor Orlando Bloom thanked reception received in Spain and said he would like to leave the street and greet people, but it was impossible due to the hours of shooting, and insisted stating that "a message of affection to all the fans and ask you to understand that it can not devote all the time they deserve. "
Liam Neeson returned to the relationship with California Palma del Rio demonstrating that it had an interest in local history and the former Franciscan convent that now houses the guesthouse in San Francisco, said "I have been telling these monks founded San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, ie, who founded Hollywood. I think it is very fitting that Hollywood now passing through here to pay everything that is due to this area. "
Jose Luis Escolar, director of the Cross Street producer, has reported that the Palace Portocarrero has been a discovery that are in the ideal state to recreate a time as difficult as the twelfth century. School has confirmed that in Palma del Río working with 200 extras and that the footage final will be between 9 and 10 minutes. The director of the Spanish production company stated that "extras are fantastic, I think we are mutually happy and the people are wonderful"
All received from the hands of the mayor, Salvador Blanco, a replica of the monument welcome to the city, the work of local sculptor Francisco Valenzuela, and a work written on the figure of the bullfighter Manuel Benitez El Cordobés."
