Nolan’s next film is…an adaptation of The Odyssey?

Link?

I love this way more than the rumored futuristic helicopter movie. I’m assuming Damon is Odysseus?

The movie starts 4 years after Odysseus' return.

I'm a Nolan fan mostly...but why tackle a story that the Coens already perfected?

I wish he would have gone further back and remade Troy too. But not by completely changing the story so the main characters don’t die in the middle. Orlando’s Paris surviving the siege was straight up retarded.

When are they going to stop shoving Zendaya down our throats?

This is an odd jump for him. Feels ego-driven and has high bust potential. Unless there's some unique angle here, seems like a relatively workaday story to tell for him. There's gotta be a less well-known and less attempted story out there to tell.

Tom Holland or Matt Damon as the lead/co-lead in an Ancient Greek Epic

It's Nolan, so who knows. He could pull a rabbit out of the hat.

The only way this works with Matt Damon and Tom Holland is if Nolan is planning on setting the Odyssey story in another era. Cannot see any of these actors in ancient Greece.

take my money now...i'm so IN

Aren't a lot of films basically an adaptation of The Odyssey in one form or another?

OG story gets copied quite often for Plot.
