"Works are under way at what is considered to be one of the largest film sets currently under construction in Europe and possibly even worldwide, located in Fort Ricasoli.

The metamorphic fortifications are once again being transformed to take on a new role and King Priam's palace rises majestically in their heart, while the imposing gates of Troy stand around 15 metres tall, overlooking Grand Harbour.

The building of the set for the epic $180 million-budget movie Troy, which is expected to be Warner Bros' major release next year, started in January, said co-producer Winston Azzopardi. Cameras should be turning their lenses onto it in around two weeks' time when the city of Troy comes alive with thousands of crowd extras."

heard about this movie. supposed to be crazy epic in scale. lots of big names involved...wolfgang peterson (directing), brad pitt, eric bana, orlando bloom, sean bean, brian cox, peter o'toole (this guy was born to make movies like this), just to name a few. the female leads are not as well-known (diane kruger is helen), but i'm sure they will not disappoint. definitely a movie to look out for come next may.

yes, after the success of The Gladiator, they have two (this and another one, with DiCaprio as Alexander The Great (?!)) of this kinf in the works. Both promise battle scenes of unheard of scale.

Sweet, can't wait to see it. I hope it's better than gladiator (which was pretty damn good).
