Maybe it's not about Osysseus's journey? What if it's the secondary storyline of the movie and the main one is about his family?
But anyway, it's still too soon to trust anything they say, I remember someone reported it was a vampire hunting movie or a western (correct me if I'm wrong) and turned out it was a wrong information. Let's wait and see

It has been confirmed that the movie is based on Homer’s Odyssey.. it will therefore follow the journey of Odysseus as he returns home to Ithaca from the 10-year long Trojan War.

The teased picture that Nolan released a couple of weeks ago clearly shows an aerial shot of a wrecked boat swirling around in the sea. This is a direct reference to Homer’s interpretation of Odysseus’ ship getting caught up in a whirlpool called Charybdis, mother of the sea monster Scylla.

I think it’s safe to assume that the movie will indeed be about Odysseus’ journey home…!

Not necessarily - the original work is structurally all over the place as compared to previous screen adaptations of the story which are much more straightforward.

Nolan probably isn't going to want to repeat the ending of "Troy" with the Trojan horse stuff. Ralph Fiennes just showed you can make a whole film out of just part of it with the recently released "The Return".

The 21-year-old Telemachus is a big part of the original work with his own adventures within the story, along with themes of absent fathers and coming-of-age elements. It could be a take that puts Odysseus' son in the lead.

The upside of that is plenty of Tom Holland shirtless or in toga action, and I'm all for it.

Chances are that he plays Telemachus and that Matt Damon plays Odysseus:

The timeless tale unfolds across 24 non-linear books, chronicling the perilous, 10-year journey of Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, as he returns home after the Trojan War. His wife, Penelope, and their son, Telemachus, struggle to maintain order back home, where a handful of suitors compete for Penelope's affection, under the assumption that Odysseus is dead.

Telemachus sets out on a secret journey to discover any news of his father. He encounters Nestor and Menelaus — two men who fought with Odysseus in the war at Troy — and learns that he is still alive.

Phew. It makes more sense him playing Telemachus than Odysseus

Once again, WHY making another version of a story filmed at least 5 times already? And with another version just released?

BC Hollywood loves to beat a good idea into the ground.

Also, no one saw that movie. Great cast but it was not a major release.

Because the public is "clamoring" to see yet another film featuring Zendaya?

She's pretty popular, sir.

 

[Caleb Trask]

Will it be done in the original Ancient Greek?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Of course it will, because as we all know, everyone speaks ancient Greek.

The Return (2024) 6.2 | Avventura, Drammatico, Storico

Because there really is no definitive screen adaptation as yet.

Barely anyone under 60 has seen the Mario Bava/Kirk Douglas film, it was hardly a "Jason and the Argonauts" or "Clash of the Titans" style home video hit for Gen X'rs.

"O Brother" was 25 years ago and basically a prison blues movie with only the barest bones of story.

"The Return" is an Indie film take on a small section of it (arguably the least interesting section of the whole work). It's an arthouse film pure and simple that barely anyone will see.

The closest to 'definitive' we have is a 30-year-old NBC mini-series, which has its fans but is pretty obscure these days.

There's a market here. Hot young things in togas with beautiful vistas combined with Chris 'I'll always do it for real' Nolan trying to do Greek monsters.

I mean, the original "Clash of the Titans" made Harry Hamlin's nipples so prominent they could almost have been nominated for supporting actor. If Tom's delicious nipples and prominent pec line get even a fraction of that treatment, and this time in IMAX, ho boy - his best wanking fuel since "Uncharted".
