Question: Are both directors of films Hard Guy and Troy (film) from the same country?

Produced by units in Malta, Mexico and Britain's Shepperton Studios, the film features an ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom. It is loosely based on Homer's" Iliad" in its narration of the entire story of the decade- long Trojan War—condensed into little more than a couple of weeks, rather than just the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon in the ninth year. Achilles leads his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical city of Troy, defended by Hector's Trojan army. The end of the film( the sack of Troy) is not taken from the" Iliad", but rather from Quintus Smyrnaeus's" Posthomerica" as the" Iliad" concludes with Hector's death and funeral. Troy made over$ 497 million worldwide, temporarily placing it in the# 60 spot of top box office hits of all time.

It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and was the 8th highest- grossing film of 2004. <SEP> Hard Guy is a 1941 American film directed by Elmer Clifton.
