I can honestly say that I have never read The Odyssey. I attempted to read The Iliad once, but I got pretty bored pretty quick, put it down and moved on with my life. Well, Warner Bros. will be helping out people like me who enjoy the idea of Odysseus and his adventures but don’t like the execution, by making the movie ODYSSEUS. Some joker named Jonathan Liebesman is directing…I kid, I’m sure he’s a lovely man…or not, I’m tired. Read Hollywood Reporter.
I guess the movie is a sequel to The Odyssey. After fighting Trojans and stuff, Odysseus returns home to Ithaca to find some jerks have rolled into his crib and taken it over. It’s up to our hero (that’s Odysseus) to single-handedly kill everyone and take back his stuff. This is a solid synopsis; I especially enjoy the “kill everyone” part. I mean, that’s pretty deep, I hope I can keep up.
