据国外媒体报道，继抖森与“豪斯医生”主演的《夜间医生》之后，BBC电视网将再次开发一部野心勃勃的电视剧：《特洛伊——陷落之城》(Troy – Fall Of A City)。这次BBC将拉上AMC一同制作，将“木马屠城记”这个耳熟能详的故事再次搬上电视荧屏。《特洛伊——陷落之城》将是一部充满爱恨情仇的史诗巨作，以希腊和特洛伊的战争为背景，讲述一个家族的衰亡史。这部剧集也将对这场战争追根溯源，从特洛伊王子帕里斯的决断、他与海伦的情感纠葛以及他出生时的预言讲起。

Dramatic retelling of the fateful last voyage of the Nantucket whaleship Essex. When the Essex is attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in November 1820, her crew take to three fragile whalers. Alone in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the men must decide whether to head for the nearest islands - a thousand miles downwind to the west - or set out on an epic journey of almost three thousand miles to reach the South American mainland. Fear of cannibals forces them to choose South America.
Almost three months later, the first whaler is rescued by another whaleship. Only three men are still alive. A week later the captain's whaler is also rescued, with just two men aboard. The third whaler is never found.
This is a story of human endurance and what men in extremis will do to survive.
