That’s too bad. I was wondering how this film would be awokened. Isn’t Ellen Page maybe five foot two? I cannot see her as playing Achilles.

Well, it’s Achilles as a ghost (he died way back in the Iliad), so it’s not exactly an action role.

Hard pass if this is the case.

And I had high hopes for this.

BTW, STARZ is debuting the series “Amadeus,” about a certain 18th century Austrian composer… being played by British/Japanese actor.

That is a fan theory. Has it been established that it’s true yet?

If this is the Odyssey, then Achilles is already dead and a ghost — a shadow of his former self — and probably isn’t in the movie for long.

No one is going to believe this tranny has-bin is Achilles.
Sounds like she has finally run out of career options.

Go to the IMDb

IMDb

Noice Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o characters aren't listed. Lupita is said to be Helen of Troy.

Now they are just f*cking with us.

I get the impression they are no longer in business to make money.
Perhaps they are so rich they can afford this as an expensive hobby.

He/she/it was interesting in Juno.

After that, not so much.

I was actually thinking of watching this movie... Until you pointed this out, then add to that a mentally ill woman playing Achilles and this movie will surely be a major flop.

Now I am not watching it ever.

Could have been a historic movie.

Opportunity thrown away.
