Thanks to Arwen Imladris for bringing this thread up again! I contracts haven't been signed for 'Troy' last time I heardd, but Bean has been offered the part, and accepted it, pending contract negotiation.<P>I really admired the depth the writers gave Boromir in the movie. I never warmed up to him in the books - Faramir was my favorite Middle Earth guy! (Kind, discerning, compassionate, brave, scholarly...)<P>But back to Bo: For me, Sean Bean's characterization of his inner struggle with the Ring clarified a lot of what was written in the book about Boromir. I actually felt I understood this character more after seeing FOTR. <P>I do feel like a hypocrite for liking the changes made in Bean's Boromir, yet being upset at the changes in Faramir. Hopefully, we'll see F. behaving as Tolkien intended in ROTK. <P> --Alphaelin: Bean Buff since 1999.
