I am very excited to see <I>Troy</I>. It should be good. I am curious to see who they do pick as Helen. I read an abridged version of the <I>Iliad</I> and it was pretty cool. Also, in I think 5th grade, I read the book <I>Behind the Walls of Troy</I> aboud Cassandra and Helen and it was very good. It should turn out great.<P>Peter Jackson ... He is a fantastic director. He took a great literary work like LOTR and changed it just enough to fit the taste of everybody. That's amazing. And he would do a great job on the <I>Narnia Chronicles</I>. If he were to do another movie, the best thing to do would be to choose a novel from the <I>Shannara</I> series by Terry Brooks. It is the second best fantasy series ever, second to LOTR, yet surpassing the <I>Narnia Chronicles</I> (in my opinion). I highly recomend the Shannara books and Peter Jackson ... I could think of no better director to do the Shannara movies. I've read them all (minus the <I>Morgawr</I>) and I think the best one is the <I>Elfstones of Shannara</I>, but I think that the <I>First King of Shannara</I> would make the best movie.
