Troy

[Jedi Master Carr]

Not sure if anybody heard but Wolfgang Petersen is making Homer's epic the Illiad into a movie and they have already cast one of the major characters. Brad Pitt will play Achilles

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=848&ncid=790&e=6&u=/variety/20020913/film_variety/film_pitt_dc

He is a pretty good choice overall, now they need to cast the other main characters
Agammemon
Hector
Odesseus
Helen
Paris
Ajax

Hopefully the movie will live up to Homer's epic tale.

"And Achilles! Great warrior! But he had an achilles heel. The irony"

:)


Dont know it

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:D

Although did you hear how Pitt ditched the movie "The Fountain" and everyone is up in arms, because it was two months before shooting and now all the staff/people are out of work and displaced and very pissed off? Tsk tsk! He should be punished for that. Prima donna antics.

[ReaperFett]

Yeah, that sucks majorly

[Sene Unty]

I hate when actors act like children. I mean they get paid enough to act like adults.......

[CMJ]

The story of the Trojan War is great. I've read several versions(yes they all are BASICALLY the same) and eagerly await this one.

Hector was always my favorite character...I hope they cast him well.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I love the Trojan War too, and I can't wait to see who they chose for the rest of the characters, I have always liked Odesseus myself he is a great character. Hector is great too, and according from what I read he will be treated very sympathetically in the movie, Agammenom is going to be the villain. He was visious in the novel, he sacrificed his own daughter, which did him in, as his wife plotted to kill him when he returned. He also treated Achilles pretty bad too, as I recall.

[Bette Davis]

Achilles....*puts foot in a block of concrete* ^_^

[ReaperFett]

put it on some wheels too :)

[Brielle Acaana]

I like Trojans. ;)

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

It seems that a lot of the studios are going back to film or re-make some of the older tales. Which isnt necesarily a bad thing but it seems that we've hit a low point in originality lately. There a few good ones out there and coming up but its not the legion that Im used to seeing.

Seems to come and go in cycles.

[BUFFJEDI]

[Jedi Master Carr]

There also seems to be a lot of historical epics and mythological films coming out, so far I know of
2 film versions of Alexander the Great (one starring our boy Leo)
Hannable (which is rumored to star Vin Disel of all people)
a Remake of Jason and the Argonauts
and a remake of Clash of the Titans (hopefully this time they will make a better movie.)

But seriously you don't like my pic? :(

[Lilaena De'Ville]

No, I like it. :D

[Sene Unty]

WooHoo!!!!! :D :D

[Lilaena De'Ville]

...Is it a girl or boy? ;) :D

[Sene Unty]

Who my character???

Yes its a boy.....

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oh ok ^_^;

;)

[Sene Unty]

Does it look like a girl????

[JMK]

Well, I wouldn't say he's a girl, but maybe a *delicate* boy. He could use a couple battle scars I think. :)

He's no Patrick Surtain or Sam Madison though. ;)

[Sene Unty]

What do you mean he is delicate!!!!! The way his half closed eyes lead you to believe he is sleepy, while he is really just pondering the existance of life! The way his hair sticks up saying "I KNOW PAIN". He is a tortured soul people!!!!

But your right JMK he is no sam madison.........:D

[JMK]

Hijacking:
Hey, Surtain is hurting, is he going to be ready this sunday???? o_O

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Don't know don't care!

On to more important news: When are they going to cast the rest of the...er...cast? For Troy, that is?

[Sene Unty]

From what I have heard he is questionable for Sunday, but that doesn't mean he wont play. I don't want them to put him in until he is 100%. They will need him more for the Patriots in two weeks then they will for the Jets. I'm hoping we crush them on Sunday.....we need to in order to prove that we can go the distance.

[ReaperFett]

Quick update, Eric Bana (Chopper, Black Hawk Down, Hulk) is apparently signed up.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yay! :crack

[Jedi Master Carr]

Who is he going to play, Odesseus?

[ReaperFett]

All I know is he's signed. It's on Gunn Shots from AICN, which is VERY reliable.

[ReaperFett]

IMDB says Hector, but doesn't mention Pitt

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hector that would make since, Bana could take on that part.

[ReaperFett]

WHo's Hector? :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hector was Troy's greatest warrior and their hero, during the battle Hector is killed by Achilles, is the main point in the book Also I wouldn't call Hector the Villian as that role will be Agamemnon (the Greek ruler of Mycenae) but he is a very ruthless person in both the book and in this screenplay.

[ReaperFett]

Yeah, he can play that :)
