William Monahan was brought to the attention of Sir Ridley Scott by Scott's associate, Lisa Ellzey, during production of Scott's previous film Il genio della truffa (2003) with a script titled "Tripoli", intended to be a Russell Crowe vehicle. Scott would work on Tripoli in the evening after shooting "Matchstick Men" during the day. He and his team would then have story meetings all weekend. Indeed, "Tripoli" had effectively gone into preproduction. All the department heads had been appointed, Branko Lustig was working on a production schedule and budget, the major roles were being cast, design and artwork was bring done, models were being built, locations had been chosen and some of the set was actually being built. The film was even greenlit twice, but on both occasions things fell apart. It was around the time of the second collapse that Monahan delivered his "Kingdom of Heaven" script. Scott had always wanted to make a Crusades movie, and much of the ideas and metaphors from "Tripoli" were incorporated into "Kingdom".
