Movie: Troy
« on: May 10, 2004, 12:31:25 am »
Has anyone else seen the trailer for the movie \"Troy\"? I saw it along time ago but now it seems it is actually going to come out :)! It almost looks like a LOTR kind of film except it cannot have any sequels. Amazing how some of these trailers can make your arm hair stand on end, maybe i just have a love for old fashion wars and ancient ways! Bugger it all I am going to go install Age of Mythology now lol! Watch the trailer if you haven\'t, brilliant if I may so myself!

There\'s no such thing as \'cannot have any sequels\'. It has been prooven many times before.


I\'ll check about it, I doubt it\'s good though, good movies are very rare.

for a movie sporting two lotr actors, and brad pitt as the main character, there might be potential, but still I don\'t think it\'ll be all that good.. especially since none of the battles seem that innovative after lotr..

This movie will be good, I can feel it :] The battle scenes don\'t need to be innovative at all to be good! This is mythological history!

I just watched the trailer again at http://www.apple.com/trailers/ and I am not overly impressed by it.  It might be good but I have been disappointed by the last few movies I\'ve seen (Hellboy, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Van Helsing), and I fear it may not live up to the expectations set by Gladiator.

I\'ve read the books many times and will definately be disapointed; the treailer is crappy. And such a cast, i can just imagine what type of movie will come out of this.  ;(

The story of Troy is based on the Iliad, and there is a sequel of that myth: The Odyssey...

I have always liked greek myths but as far as the movie goes, movies always look good in the previews...

We will have to see if the movie is any good...

(speaking of dont you hate it when they show somthing in the previews that is not anywhere in the movie?)

What if they think the movie will be good, sign a contract, realize it\'s bad, but won\'t break the contract so they won\'t get sued? That\'s all these things are about, money. And that\'s why most film suck.

And besides, you said they were in LOTR, right?... :rolleyes:

Nah I said it was a LOTR type film, big battles, dramatic kind of stuff but now that I think about it Orlando Bloom is in it lol! Nah actors look over story boards, outlines and small production releases of what the film is suppose to be before signing and this one has rallied so many BIG names Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Peter O\'Toole , Diane Kruger :) Those are pretty big actors especially the ONE THE ONLY Brad Pitt! I am not exactly a big fan of him but every film I have seen him in has not failed to be great! Anyways I know what you mean it could turn out bad like The Hulk, Daredevil, etc...but I doubt it will!

EDIT: Now that I actually look somewhat deeper into other roles in the movie we got Sean Bean also from Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring, Brian Cox one of my many favorites (Nuremburg or SuperTroopers) also another one of my favorites Brendan Gleeson from Braveheart if you don\'t remeber he was the big guy always by Mel Gibson he had the orange hair and always tended to punch Mel for fun!

This is probably going to be another case of Hollywood turning a great story into something that can make maximum profit in 1.5 hours.

If you really want to see this story in action, then go find a copy of \"Helen of Troy,\" a USA miniseries done about a year ago that was amazing.  I mean, of course the special effects and the acting wasn\'t like youd get out of a big picture, but that just means that they were able to do a better job of telling the story, which is what I believe they managed to do.
