Brad Pitt’s ‘Troy’ is having a moment 22 years later, thanks to ‘The Odyssey’

Published by skeptic

The Odyssey follows Odysseus on his long journey home from the Trojan War. Its viewers, however, are heading in the opposite direction…back to Troy. Christopher Nolan’s epic has quickly become one of the year’s biggest movies. The film opened with $264.1 million worldwide, the largest global debut of Nolan’s career, and earned another $90 million domestically during its second weekend. By its 12th day in theaters, it had generated $727.9 million worldwide. All that attention has also sent viewers toward a much older, looser interpretation of Homer’s Iliad.

Clips from Wolfgang Petersen’s 2004 film have been circulating across social media. Viewers are comparing the movies’ battle scenes, costumes, performances, and versions of the fall of Troy. Some have gone further, arguing that the critically dismissed Brad Pitt blockbuster may actually be the better movie. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Her relationship with her father was virtually nonexistent — he had spent the majority of her childhood in prison on drug offenses, while her mother singlehandedly raised her. So when Sarah turned 16 — the age you can legally change your name in the U.K. — she took the leap to swap her dad’s surname for her mom’s. “It gave me a sense of control over a situation that I felt was very unfair to me,” says Sarah, now 25 and working as a music publicist. “I was allowed to decide for myself, whereas everyone else told me how I should feel or that …

The Pitt’s Brittany Allen On Submitting Herself For The Emmys

The Pitt’s Brittany Allen On Submitting Herself For The Emmys

Published by Daniella Wilson

As the second season of The Pitt began airing, Brittany Allen began seeing a passionate fan reaction to her character, Roxie Hamler, a terminally ill cancer patient, and saw her name pop up on a number of early Emmys predictions lists.  But despite that early buzz, HBO did not submit Allen for Emmys contention, leading the actress to self-submit herself in the category of outstanding guest actress in a drama series.  “As a working class actor, I have become very familiar with being overlooked in my career, and you toughen your skin, and you just keep your head down, and you keep working, and you keep bettering yourself. And then you reach a point where you go, you know what? I don’t want to get overlooked anymore,” Allen said of the decision.  The move, as well as the social media “For Your Consideration” campaign Allen and her husband embarked on, paid off as she received an Emmy nomination Wednesday for playing Hamler, who has a six-episode arc as she enters the hospital with a broken …

According to the outlet, Maddox wants to be known as “Maddox Chivan Jolie” going forward. It’s unclear how long a ruling on the request will take. Angelina adopted Maddox from an orphanage in Cambodia when he was seven months old in March 2002, and three years later, also adopted daughter Zahara, 21, from Ethiopia. But when Angelina and Brad started a relationship, the F1 actor announced his intention to adopt her two children and filed paperwork to switch their surnames to “Jolie-Pitt”, which was granted in early 2006. The former couple also adopted son Pax Thien, 22, in 2007 and are parents to three biological children: Shiloh, 20, and 17-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.
