I saw a clip of Elliot Page in a suit signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans and it was actually pretty sad. She has no clue how to project being a man but you can tell she is 'all in' on desperately trying. She looks so unnatural out there.
She kind of sticks her arms out further from her body while walking trying to appear more "manly", but she has the quick and twitchy movements of a small boy...or like a female trying to pretend to be a man but who has no clue how to do so. Almost looked like Charlie Chaplin or something, it was pretty awkward. I hope she finds out how to be a man someday...seems like a pretty tall task...GL with that.
All that to say, I hope her portrayal of a man in this film...a hardened Greek warrior at that...is more realistic than her real life one. Casting a black woman to play an Ancient Greek character is actually LESS ridiculous than this casting decision imo. I can see Nolan going with a creepy/scary vibe for her character, as opposed to an aggressive/masculine one, and pulling off though, bc he's a cinematic genius. They will definitely have to alter her voice and use some type of CGI though to pull it off.
Eliot Page has a good shot to resurrect his career if they ever reboot Lord of the Rings. Excellent Hobbit potential.
Isn't the Odyssey role something of a sniveling soldier that sells out the Trojans similar to the hunchback in 300? I never read the Odyssey so don't know how that character is described but may not be a mighty warrior.
Nope. Sinon was cousin to Odysseus. The lore was that Sinon fought alongside Odysseus throughout the Trojan war then infiltrated Troy by surrendering to the Trojan army claiming he had deserted. He then aided the Greeks entering the city for the sack of Troy. He basically carried out a suicide mission for the Greeks.
