Fantasy Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

[Drizzle]

Girl threw in the towel after getting an Oscar.

I was actually excited to see her in that Judy Garland biopic that never happened.

The one that Renee Zellweger ended up doing and winning an Oscar for?

I think it was a different movie. It was supposed to be produced by the Weinstein Company, but that didn't happen after the Harvey Weinstein allegations.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh ****.

 

[Lily Adler]

Oh ****.

I actually wanted this!

 

[SwordOfMorning]

This is the greatest day of my life.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Oh **** yes!!

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Really odd. Think this is a weird direction for the sequel, but I’m looking forward to Nolan’s Super Mario Odyssey.

 

[Kane52630]

Oh ****.

 

[Lily Adler]

He should go all in and make this a 2 parter with The Illiad.

 

[Kane52630]

Damn shame tho... I need Christian Bale to play Odysseus so badly.

 

[BatLobster]

Helicopter movie? Vampire movie?

I guess we mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Bale would rather waste his talent with David O. Russell.

 

[Arachnerd]

Oh yes. I am seated.

Different project. Hers was Get Happy and was going to be produced by the Weinstein Company with Dimension Films. It was delayed and then cancelled due to Harvey Weinstein being outed as a sexual predator.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Bale would have been perfect for this.

 

[Kane52630]

What's wild is that there's already an adaptation of The Odyssey with Ralph Fiennes that came out this year.

 

[Lily Adler]

Anne is playing Athena right?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Wow! Already one of my most anticipated for 2026!

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Really odd. Think this is a weird direction for the sequel, but I’m looking forward to Nolan’s Super Mario Odyssey.

So that's why Nintendo and Illumination have been so cagey on the Mario movie sequel.

 

[Kane52630]

He should go all in and make this a 2 parter with The Illiad.

If anything he's probably gonna break up The Odyssey into two parts ala Dune style.


Unless... this one movie is 4 hours long.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Universal's 2-part Odyssey would sound like their answer for Doomsday and Secret Wars.

 

[DKDetective]

We know that Nolan is a huge Ridley Scott fan, this news makes those strange comments from Nolan that Gladiator II was his favourite film of the year make a lot more sense. I guess Sir Christopher has swords and sandals on the brain.

I was going to say this must be a mistake because he threw out his Howard Hughes biopic after The Aviator came out. I guess he must be going a very, very different from Fiennes' version.
