Being the HUGE Dom fan that I am, I'm looking forward to any movie he's going to be in next. I happen to be looking forward to his other movie The Purifiers alot more than his other ones. It looks very good!

This may have already been posted, but here is the story that is on the movie site.
Throughout time, men have waged war. Some for power, some for glory, some for honor — and some for love.
In ancient Greece, the passion of two of history's most legendary lovers, Paris, Prince of Troy (ORLANDO BLOOM) and Helen (DIANE KRUGER), Queen of Sparta, ignites a war that will devastate a civilization. When Paris steals Helen away from her husband, King Menelaus (BRENDAN GLEESON), it is an insult that cannot be suffered. Familial pride dictates that an affront to Menelaus is an affront to his brother Agamemnon (BRIAN COX), powerful King of the Myceneans, who soon unites all the massive tribes of Greece to steal Helen back from Troy in defense of his brother's honor.
In truth, Agamemnon's pursuit of honor is corrupted by his overwhelming greed — he needs control of Troy to ensure the supremacy of his already vast empire. The walled city, under the leadership of King Prium (PETER O'TOOLE) and defended by mighty Prince Hector (ERIC BANA), is a citadel that no army has been able to breach. One man alone stands as the key to victory or defeat over Troy — Achilles (BRAD PITT), believed to be the greatest warrior alive.
Arrogant, rebellious and seemingly invincible, Achilles has no allegiance to anyone or anything, save his own glory. It is his insatiable hunger for eternal renown that leads him to attack the gates of Troy under Agamemnon's banner — but it will be love that ultimately decides his fate.
Two worlds will go to war for honor and power. Thousands will fall in pursuit of glory. And for love, a nation will burn to the ground.
I'm fairly sure that I've read the Iliad at some stage, but I want to read it again before the movie. Are there any translations that people would recommend (English ones), as there are so many?

| My impression from the myths was that Achilles mostly loved himself, but I expect they will sex it up a bit. |

But of course...
My son saw a preview for Troy the other day and asked me to read him the story. It has been a while since I read the Iliad, but I remember certain things being unacceptable for six-year-old minds. So YIKES, not sure what to tell him. He has a dangerously insatiable appetite for good books. 
And of course daddy has told him he can go see the movie

I am in the process of repeated watchings of the trailer, although it is more impressive in the cinema. Love the camera panning out over the ships (boats?), but there seem to be more of them there were people in ancient Greece. 
I’m a LOTR fanatic, but I don’t mind that much if they mess up Troy, it looks to be a very impressive movie.
