In all, 45 minutes of new scenes have been added, with the biggest addition, as Ridley Scott acknowledges in the introduction, being the subplot of Sibyllas son.

Also, there is now more graphic violence in all the battle scenes, with newly added shots of spurting blood and new close-ups of wounds being inflicted.

The primary additional scenes in the Directors Cut are: In the opening scene, there is a shot of the Priest ( Michael Sheen ) splitting open his apple only to find that it is rotten.

Also, newly added dialogue with the gravedigger ( Martin Hancock ) reveals that the woman being buried was married to the Priests brother, Balian the Blacksmith ( Orlando Bloom ).

There is a new scene where the bishop of the town ( Bill Paterson ) orders Balians brother to release Balian from prison so the blacksmith can aid him in completing the construction of the new abbey.

There is a new scene of Balian looking at the sapling planted by his wife ( Nathalie Cox ), coupled with a flashback of her planting it.

There are several newly added shots of the French village as Balian walks away from the prison.

These shots help to establish the local geography more clearly than in the theatrical version.

After Godfrey ( Liam Neeson ) and his men arrive, there is a new scene of them having dinner with Godfreys elder brother ( Robert Pugh ).

While Godfrey is away from the table, the elder brother and his son ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ) conspire to kill Godfrey and take the mantle of Baron of Ibelin for themselves, which creates an additional reason for the forest ambush later in the film (in the theatrical cut, the ambush seems based purely upon an attempt to arrest Balian).

A new scene shows Balian being verbally abused by his brother whilst sitting at the crossroads looking at his wifes grave.

The following day, the Priest gives the Crusaders some background information on Balian, including his role as an engineer and how he used to build towers that could fling the largest stones.

Additionally, Odo ( Jouko Ahola ) asks Balian if he has ever seen warfare, to which Balian responds that he has, both on horse and on foot.

Immediately after Odos conversation with Balian, there is a brief flashback of Godfrey saying goodbye to Balians mother before he left for Jerusalem.

The subsequent exchange between Godfrey and the Hospitaler ( David Thewlis ) has been shortened in the Directors Cut, as some of the exposition given in that scene in the theatrical version has already been revealed in other newly added scenes, and their conversation is now much more oblique.

Godfreys line I am your father in the theatrical cut is substituted with I knew your namesake in the Directors Cut.

After Godfrey and his men leave for Messina, there are a few additional shots of Balians assistant ( Bronson Webb ) watching them leave and then looking back at Balian.

Later that night, the scene where Balian kills his brother is longer, with much more dialogue and additional taunting from the Priest prior to Balians attack.

Several additional shots of Godfreys men at camp have been added; the Hospitaler brushing his teeth; Firuz ( Eriq Ebouaney ) shouting at one of the men for urinating upstream of the camp; the English Sergeant ( Kevin McKidd ) greasing Godfreys armor (this explains why Godfrey is hurt so badly by the arrow in the subsequent ambush - he is not wearing his chain-mail).

The ambush is also considerably bloodier than in the theatrical cut.

On the pilgrims road, the acolyte (Steven Robertson ) now says To kill an infidel, the Pope has said, is not murder.

In the theatrical cut, he said To kill an infidel is not murder.

There is also a brief new scene of the Hospitaler speaking to an old pilgrim ( Peter Copley ) who is leading a group of children to Jerusalem.
