It could be. May 14th, right? Damn.
I think Eric Bana's doing a great job so far -- I completely feel for his put-uponness at the trouble silly Paris has gotten him into, based only on, what, two lines.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

kashi:
I wonder if they're gonna make Paris the wuss he is, or if they'll Orlando-ify the character.
So far, based on nothing, he certainly seems to be a lovesick sop, but I think I saw him in one fight scene in the trailer, smashing someone with a shield.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's a hard choice. On one hand, accuracy. On the other, Orlando in a skirt beating people up. All you really need to do is add eyeliner and sex with another guy, and it would be the best movie ever.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Sob. Poor Astyanax, and Cassandra, and Hector, and... sob!
I'm guessing Helen really is just going to run off with Paris, rather than being handed to him by Aphrodite.

I'm sorry, ita's not here right now. She's off observing a moment of silence. She'll get back to you as soon as she recovers.

He *does*! I kept thinking I'd seen the son somewhere before, and that's why.
Bless all of you for the picture posts. You've made my morning..

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
There's an abortive duel at one point between Menelaus and Paris, I think.
You think they'll do that? I suppose it only needs a little alteration for Paris not to end the fight crying and being rescued away by the Goddess of Cleavage.
Sadly, I expect the scene where Hector takes off his helmet, because it's scaring the baby, and sets it on the floor to do his big speech, probably didn't make it into the script. No blood, you know.

Look at this and guess who it is! (Hint--it's a certain director in his first appearance at Cannes in 1987.)
