How it was made
- Production designer Arthur Max's team built a large physical set recreating ancient Jerusalem, with the shoot based largely in Ouarzazate, Morocco, and at several Spanish locations including Loarre Castle and Seville's Alcázar.
- Visual effects house Moving Picture Company completed 440 effects shots for the film, with Double Negative and Framestore CFC contributing additional CGI work.
- Composer Harry Gregson-Williams's score was supplemented with tracks pulled from other films, including Jerry Goldsmith's 'Valhalla' theme from The 13th Warrior and 'Vide Cor Meum,' originally written for Scott's Hannibal.
