		It’s fairly heady stuff for a superhero movie – and it should be even headier stuff in “Troy,”; which Petersen and screenwriter David Benioff are developing from no less a source than Homer’s Iliad.
		In Focus talked to Petersen about the nuances of “Troy,”; Pitt, Bana, Clint Eastwood, and the director’s childhood obsession – in his native Germany – with Hollywood filmmaking.
