    The image in the news story would make an interesting and thought provoking wall paper. :P

    Look more closely. The woman on the right has an epee, but the one on the left does indeed have a sabre.

    No, that's an epee on the left, I think you're seeing part of the guard and thinking it connects to the pommel, if you look more closely you can see that the curve follows the other place you can see the guard.

    Also, it has a point just like the other one.

    This is looking at the 1280x1024 desktop image.

    There was a thread about this a while ago. It's a sabre. Also, if you go to the site linked above and watch the TV spot or the making of, it's very clear that it's a sabre.

    Interesting.
    It's epees in the poster, and sabres in the clip.

    It does appear to have a point, which I assume is a trick of the light.

    However, you can clearly see the sabre guard, and you can't hold an epee like she's holding it.

    Fencingchannel.tv put up a wallpaper in their downloads section so check that out if you want to.

    Deviantart has some cool stuff too. Here the link with the results from fencing. Pretty cool stuff.
