A R 11 l' A RCHERD ts tVIIT Utt1;3 W&11 OOD MORNING: "People will be totally shocked," says Wolf- gang Petersen, director of "In the Line of Fire." President John F. G Kennedy will be seen in the movie in sequences with Clint East- wood—with Clint looking the way he looked 30 years ago. Digital computer magic, says Petersen, makes it possible. We've seen samples of celebs of the past on current TV commercials but this is the first time computer magic's been used similarly in a major movie, Petersen claims. Eastwood is "photographed" with JFK as the president arrives at the Dallas airport on the fateful morning preceding the assassination —and there's more. Petersen says Columbia moved up the Castle Rock movie's release date to July 23—everyone's so high on it. "It's my greatest experience after 'Das Boot,' " he admitted. "Working with Clint was a great experience." Ennio Morricone is musicking. Pe- tersen's talking more projects with Columbia via his banner, Radiant Films, which is also developing "Surprise Party" for TriStar ... This Sunday at the White House, President Clinton has invited Carol Channing, Barbara Cook, Lauren Bacall, Rita Moreno and James Naughton to entertain at a dinner for the 50 governors and the cabinet members with a revue called "Make Way for Tomorrow—America Speaks Through Its B'way Musicals." Producers Beverly Camhe and Martin Bell, along with writers Barbara Handman and Phyllis New- man, who did the inaugural version of the show on the Mall, produce Sunday's White House version. Hillary Clinton again asked Channing to sing "I'm Just a Little Girl From Little Rock" (from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"). And Bacall will sing "I Believe in You" (from "How to Succeed ... ") to the president. .

Homer's Iliad Via the Movie Troy (2004)
23 November 2017 Homer’s Iliad via the Movie Troy (2004) PROFESSOR EDITH HALL One of the most successful movies of 2004 was Troy, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Brad Pitt as Achilles. Troy made more than $497 million worldwide and was the 8th- highest-grossing film of 2004. The rolling credits proudly claim that the movie is inspired by the ancient Greek Homeric epic, the Iliad. This was, for classical scholars, an exciting claim. There have been blockbuster movies telling the story of Troy before, notably the 1956 glamorous blockbuster Helen of Troy starring Rossana Podestà, and a television two-episode miniseries which came out in 2003, directed by John Kent Harrison. But there has never been a feature film announcing such a close relationship to the Iliad, the greatest classical heroic action epic. The movie eagerly anticipated by those of us who teach Homer for a living because Petersen is a respected director. He has made some serious and important films. These range from Die Konsequenz (The Consequence), a radical story of homosexual love (1977), to In the Line of Fire (1993) and Air Force One (1997), political thrillers starring Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford respectively. The Perfect Storm (2000) showed that cataclysmic natural disaster and special effects spectacle were also part of Petersen’s repertoire. His most celebrated film has probably been Das Boot (The Boat) of 1981, the story of the crew of a German U- boat during the Battle of the Atlantic in 1941. The finely judged and politically impartial portrayal of ordinary men, caught up in the terror and tedium of war, suggested that Petersen, if anyone, might be able to do some justice to the Homeric depiction of the Trojan War in the Iliad.

A Case Study Saverio Giovacchini*
January 2011 Journal of Global Analysis The Cosmopolitan Epics of 2004: A Case Study Saverio Giovacchini* In 2004 Hollywood produced three purportedly blockbuster epic films: Troy, King Arthur and Alexander. Many critics suggested a direct link between the 1950s “sword and sandal” epic and this new crop of movies. Similarities between the two cycles certainly exist but in this essay I want to emphasize a crucial difference between the contemporary, cosmopolitan, epic and the previous, more nation-bound, 1950s cycle. Rather than being in tune with key elements of American foreign policy, the new cycle of “sword and sandal” films offers a somber assessment of American imperial adventures. I shall contend, in fact, that the new crop of epic films had to choose between two generic conventions that are, at present, not compatible. On the one hand, epic films had traditionally been the bearers of the foreign policy vision of the country that produced them. On the other, their inflated budgets made them dependent on an international market. Deeply aware of a globalized and rising opposition to US foreign policy and of the fact that foreign box office now exceeds the domestic take of a blockbuster, it may be no wonder that the makers of these films chose to craft them into citizens of the world. Keywords: Iraq War, Blockbuster cinema, American Foreign Policy, Anti-Americanism.
