From IMDb:

Troy director Wolfgang Petersen was unconcerned when Brad Pitt tore his Achilles' tendon whilst filming the lavish new epic - because he was so confident about the movie. Pitt was out of action for weeks while he recovered from the injury, but Petersen refused to worry about the lost time and money on the $185 million , because he was convinced he was making a classic film...

Am I the only one that sees the irony in this?

Remember how back when The Matrix Reloaded was released, people accused the big Burly Brawl fight scene between Neo and about 100 Agent Smiths as looking too much like a video game? Well, as it turns out, they were right.
