Cool trailer. I've just been reading the review and commenttary on the BBC's website, and it wasn't until I saw the trailer that I grasped (yes, I haven't been follwoing the casting) that Paris was being played by Orlando Bloom. Will he ever get another role that doesn't involve a bow? :-) Talk about specialized typecasting ;-)

I'm interested that people (at least on the BBC site) are griping about the physical culture depictions but no one has mentioned the (to me) greatest blooper of all, at lest from the trailer. There are several shots of Greek and/or Trojan cavalry. Cavalry? People actually *sitting* on horses? HUH? Insane; how could you *sit* on a moving horse? You'd fall off! It would be bumpy and uncomfortable! THese HOllywood directors are crazy! :-)

Thank you for warning me, lest I suddenly have a very loud conniption fit in the theatre. Or maybe they should just put in subliminal "Anachronism Alert" frames before such things.
