KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (May 6, 2005)

Orlando Bloom has Lord of the Rings behind him and tons of young girl crushes in front of him, but as far as movies go he is up for the Ridley Scott epic Kingdom of Heaven next as he finds himself starring alongside the likes of Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Brendan Gleeson, Marton Csokas, and Liam Neeson.

Kingdom of Heaven is an epic adventure about a common man who finds himself thrust into a decades-long war. A stranger in a strange land, he serves a doomed king, falls in love with an exotic and forbidden queen, and rises to knighthood. Ultimately, he must protect the people of Jerusalem from overwhelming forces – while striving to keep a fragile peace.

MR. AND MRS. SMITH (June 10, 2005)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie team up for the pretty faced actioner Mr. and Mrs. Smith as the two battle it out as rivalry spouses.

John and Jane Smith are an ordinary suburban couple with an ordinary, lifeless suburban marriage. But each of them has a secret — they are actually both legendary assassins working for competing organizations. When the truth comes out, John and Jane end up in each other’s cross hairs.
