Fantasy Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

[Arachnerd]

That was nothing more than an unsubstantiated rumor. And thank god for that, because this is a much more interesting direction for him to take.

 

[Boom]

I thought the movie about the futuristic helicopter cops was next for Nolan?

Mercifully we were spared.

 

[Filmfreak]

Maybe it's a new take and Odysseus is trying new means of transport to Ithaca.

Penelope:

I was promised helicopters, dammit!

 

[Arachnerd]

There will be shots filmed from a helicopter, obviously.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Mercifully we were spared.

So it never existed?

 

[Arachnerd]

Again, it was nothing but a rumor that had no credibility.

I'm really excited for this one. A large chunk of my early childhood in the early 80s was spent at my grandmother's, and there were always lots and lots of kids Greek myths books and stories left behind there by my various aunts & uncles which I loved reading. And then going hand in hand with that, the TV would always be showing Hollywood's take on Greek fantasy movies which were popular in the 60s and 70s - Jason and the argonauts, the Minotaur, Perseus the Invincible, Hercules, etc. Many many memories of watching them over and over.

Cut to the modern day and I'm equally as entranced by some of the films Nolan has made. Interstellar is in my top 3 movies. So I'm optimistic that a combination of his sensibilities, a decent budget, a good cast and the epic nature something like Homer's Odyssey itself could make for something amazing.

Insufficient! I want to see a cyclops having a standoff with a squad of Apache helicopters!

Tom can grow a beard?

 

[Lily Adler]

He's either Poseidon or I forgot the lead suitor who's after Penelope.

Tom can grow a beard?

If Neil Breen can grow one, Tom surely can!

I think that Deadline article is a tad misleading. Holland is A lead. Not THE lead.

Damon is Odysseus. 100%.

 

[Sawyer]

Holland as Odysseus toward the beginning of his odyssey, Pattinson as Odysseus toward the end of it.
