Looks like crap to me. A large portion of the interesting characters are not included from the looks of it. Odysseus, Achilles, Nestor... they make up a great deal of the "flavour" of The Iliad.
I'm not sure that the story of Helen's capture etc. is going to be as compelling as is the story of the battle over her return.
To hear the story of the Trojans may be historically/mythologically interesting, but IMHO, it is the tragic nature of their fall that makes for such a good story. I doubt if the entertainment value of this here sucker is going to be very high. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't watch it if it was on... Nothing could be worse than Brad Pitt as Achilles. <_<

But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
