Brad Pitt looking buff for Troy
Aside from Return of the King, the film I am easily most looking forward to over the coming months is Troy. The film looks like a grand scale epic that we just haven't seen much of over the last couple of years. The cast also look amazing! Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Peter O'Toole (shame on you if you don't know who he is. Only one of the greatest actors in history), Eric Bana (The Hulk), Sean Bean (Boromir in Lord of the Rings), Brian Cox (Stryker in X-Men 2), the list goes on.
The visuals are looking fantastic as well. You can see the trailer by clicking here.
Here's a little excerpt about the film:'Troy,' the epic tale of the Trojan War first told in the Greek poem, The Iliad. Brad Pitt stars as Achilles, a born-warrior who leads a ferocious battle against the Prince (Orlando Bloom) who has stolen beautiful Helen of Troy from the king of Sparta -- and set in motion a legendary battle that would rage on for over a decade.

Nathan Jones from the WWE is also in it. He's going to make Brad Pitt look like a smurf.

This is one of my favorite story, I hope the Holywood don't make a trash.
this story has a potencial to become one of the best movie in story, but the
copitalism is behind this.

Troy might turn out to be a good action flick, maybe even an epic action flick, but how could a movie hope to capture the poetry of Homer's Illiad? Rosey fingered dawn and all that... Richard III, Titus, and Henry V, just to name a few of Bill's works, all turned out very well, but they were poems written for the stage. The Illiad is a story to be told by a bard. I can't imagine that it will translate very well. So, this might turn out to be a good movie, but it won't be the Illiad by any streach of the imagination.

This movie seems very promising, like the olden day movies but this could turn out like most hollywood trash...lets just hope that it doesn't.
