Paris is supposed to die, but I've seen previews and it doesn't look like he will!  I don't know, its been years since I read the Illiad... bad me.
And for the record.. I'm NOT a Brat Pitt fan but in the previews... DAMN! He's gorgeous... I think its because he's now 40 and he doesnt look like a baby anymore.

I don't know anything! I just saw previews... But Orli has some nice abs.. I saw that much! I want Orli-movie-porn!  Do you think we'll get a butt-shot? What is it rated?

Not to make waves or promises, but there is a very strong rumour out that there will be both Bloom and Bean nudity. Back or front, no one is certain. I've seen it in several LJ's.
 I REPEAT, THIS IS ONLY A RUMOUR.
Not everything one reads on the Internet is true!
Still, true or not, it's going to guarantee a large female showing.
Regards,
The Power of the Book  |

At least in the Iliad, pretty much everybody dies. Achilles kills Hector, Paris kills Achilles, somebody kills Paris, the Greeks slaughter Hector's infant son and his father Priam (his mother lives to be sold into slavery). You know what's funny, though? I can't remember what happens to Helen. Dragged back to Greece? You know the Greeks win, right.
The Greeks mostly die after (Agamemnon is killed by his wife, Clytemnestra for being unfaithful and sacrificing their daugher at the start of the war), then their other daughter kills her ... it's all ugly.
EXCEPT Odysseus (!) who only has to wander the seas for 10 years before coming home to his faithful wife, loving son, and a houseful of rowdy suitors he has to kill.
But that's anther story ...

Everybody dies in Greek tragedies.. hence the word 'tragedy'
And yes PotB! I've heard that rumour! *Grins hopefully*

Well we can only hope that we will get to see Orlando's "bloom" or Sean's "beans." I'm definitely thinking/hoping we will get to see some Orli action because in the trailer, little Ms. Helen of Troy drops her top. So if they would hint at that, it gives me hope that we will get to see some delicious male nudity.  Not that I approve of smutty trash like that. I'm just going to see the movie to make sure it is historically accurate.

Actually as far as I remember, Helena goes back to Sparta to play Menelaus wife ... Odysseus son Telemachos meets her there in the Oddyssey.
And I think Paris is killed by Philoctetes with a poisoned arrow. Dies very slowly.

Sure, Sind is too classy for trashy porn...

The very fact that you remember Philoctetes name inspires me to believe you. Wasn't he, like, Achilles best friend or something?
Oh, my 10th grade history teacher would be so proud!

I thought it was Philoctetes who got hit with a poison arrow, then left on an island b/c his wound stank.
As far as what happens to Helen, in some versions she is happy enough to go back to Sparta, in others she's portrayed more sympathetically.
I probably won't see this movie. The ending is too sad, and even if Orli does full-frontal and gives me a shout-out, I think it would depress me too much.

Even if you don't see the movie, there will always be gorgeous full color screen captures for you to feast your eyes on.
