Cool idea. Haven't seen an edit of Troy attempted before. I've only seen this once in theaters and kinda enjoyed it for what it was, but I haven't had the desire to watch it since. Anyway, the three best things about this movie can be expressed by the following names. Eric Bana, Peter O'Toole, and Sean Bean. Sounds like you'll be cutting many of the things I like about the film, but it seems like an interesting take on the material.
