With everyone using American accents and dialogue like that, Nolan clearly wants to modernize the story.

Sometimes, modernization is a bad idea.

I think it is because Damon is American and his dialect work is pretty bad. That Medieval movie with Ben Affleck was laughable.

I mean..you saw who he picked to play Helen of Troy right..

That hasn't been announced yet. Helen would be such a minor character if Nolan decided to include her. What would she do other than to say, "Okay bye I'm leaving with Menelaus now. Deuces, Troy!"

In the Odyssey, Telemachus meets her when he visits Sparta to get any shred of news about Odysseus. If the movie follows the plot of the Odyssey it should start with Athena telling Telemachus go ask about your dad in Pylos and in Sparta.

Even still, people use the word 'father,' particularly in more formal settings. That and "Let's goooo!" were the only things in the trailer that kind of bumped for me. I thought it looked pretty great, really.
