Title: Article: Orlando Evacuated From Set

Rumaging around this evening I dug up this old article from WizardNews...

QUOTE
British Hollywood star Orlando Bloom was rushed off set amid suspected terror attacks whilst filming Ridley Scott's new film Kingdom of Heaven.

The 27-year-old actor who was shooting in Morocco when he had to be ushered to safety after blasts were heard.

An insider says, "We all thought it was a bomb at first, we were terrified.

"Orlando, director Ridley Scott and the rest of the crew were evacuated immediately."

The Lord of the Rings star was quickly back on-set after a fire was discovered containing three bottles of liquid.

The insider continued, "A smoldering fire was discovered among storage equipment, we're still waiting to hear the results of the investigation."

I clearly remember reading that (almost 4 years ago now :o ) but can't recall the exact details. Does anyone else remember?

I'm sure something is mentioned about it on the KOH Directors Cut, I just don't know where to find it! :wacko:

My quick Google search didn't bring up any more detail than the article you posted. Weird. Scary too!

There is nothing about the canisters on the DVD... but they mentioned another fire, when one of the siege-towers burned down...

quite a "hot" movie... :wacko:
I'm very glad nobody got hurt... :hot:

On the DVD, there was also mention of extra security brought in at one time for Ridley Scott because of a suspected threatening situation (that turned out not to be), but I don't recall any mention of it including Orlando.
