    The Odyssey is more of a books-to-movie “adaption” I think. Books because it consists of 24 books, not just one and “adaption” because based on teasers it’s adapted very, very loosely. Seems to be a thing with Nolan. He did the same when he adapted Batman. Many die hard comic fans really didn’t agree with his take there as he didn’t respect the source material very much. At least not visually or tone wise. I think the same will be true for fans of other iterations of the Odyssey. I’ll watch it because Nolan movies are interesting if nothing else but I don’t actually expect to like it very much. I’m sure it’s going to be a controversial discourse once it’s out.

      There is already a lot of controversy around casting, I doubt the story will attract any less attention.

        Omg seriously, the casting is such a snore to me.

        I love the epics and their story but it won’t be very good I suspect. I loved Troy despite its issues so I’ll he interested in seeing how this one goes.

        Honestly the first Percy Jackson film is going to he a better adaption of that story I bet or that episode of Arthur hahahah
