Ilium Ridge is a screenplay by Glendenning Cram and Ron Hier. This thrilling story updates the Gods, myth and magic of the Iliad to the bloody trenches of the last century. And this website exists to raise consciousness of our story and turn it into a film.
What’s it about?
To brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, the Great War is but a game to stave off the boredom of immortality. To Captain Achilles, the Man Who Cannot Be Killed, it is a curse to be avoided at all costs. But Achilles cannot avoid his fate. He finds himself caught up in the Achaean army at the carnage of Ilium Ridge, where he must choose between his love for Trojan nurse Briseis and his sworn duty to the treacherous General Agamemnon.
Though separated by 3000 years, the similarities between the Trojan War in Homer’s classic Iliad and the First World War are striking. Both feature an interminable war fought over a relatively tiny area, by soldiers who had more in common than what separated them. Both were presided over by divine, incestuously close figures. And both are tales of doomed heroes fighting both the enemy and their own incompetent commanders.
