WTF Happened to Troy?

If we’re talking about the best historical cinematic epics of all time, what are the first few titles that leap to mind? Kubrick’s Spartacus? Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia? Maybe Gibson’s Braveheart? Whatever the answer is, chances are, despite earning half a billion dollars worldwide, Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy isn’t likely the first movie that tops the list. But why is that? After all, Troy was not only a monumental box office hit, but it also fared pretty well among critics and general filmgoers alike. Moreover, with Homer’s timeless tale of The Iliad guiding the way, it would seem as though Troy would resonate longer in the public’s collective consciousness and rank among the all-time best and most durable biographical epics. Yet, despite the impressive size, scale, and scope of the big-screen spectacle that chronicles the intense war between the Greeks and the Trojan Army, Troy has sort of been forgotten at best and relegated towards the middle of the heap at worst, with titular star Brad Pitt himself voicing his own displeasure with the picture. Aside from Pitt’s own misgivings with the final outcome, we’re about to delve deep into the production history for Troy and document everything from the development phase and the casting process to the troubled intercontinental film shoot that was marred by inclement weather, destroyed sets, emergency relocation, injurious delays, tragic fatalities, on-set arrests, exploited background extras, and other unforeseen mishaps that led to Troy becoming one of the most expensive Hollywood movies in history.
