Because the public is "clamoring" to see yet another film featuring Zendaya?Once again, WHY making another version of a story filmed at least 5 times already? And with another version just released?

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

The Return (2024)
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".
can always dreamYeah agreed. Considering it’s one of the great mythological epics, there really hasn’t been a definitive Hollywood take on it yet. With Nolan behind it and an all star cast there’s a lot of potential there. Plus he’s sure to put his own spin on it. I just hope he doesn’t cut out all the supernatural stuff
I've been thinking the same thing. And not just that, but the recent post-bulk Christmas shopping pictures were peak Tom. Hes never looked hotter and he's about to star in a Nolan movie that will objectify him as a greek (probably often shirtless) hero. I've literally never been more excited to see a movie and it hasn't been shot yet.

Look, Mel Gibson made his Jesus movie in Aramaic and Derek Jarman’s Sebastiane was done in Latin. I thought Nolan’s was into authentic films, I’m not just wildly throwing around ideas, if he’s going to do an art house topic like the Odyssey, it would be nice to see him go the extra mile. Personally, I would like to see him start with The Trojan Horse part of the story and go from there.
I'd rather the sex be Greek than the dialogue.
Let's cavort like the Greeks of old! You know the ones I mean ...

Those stupid fucking pants make him look 3 feet tall lol. And he's already short.
So we're not gonna see him get turned into a pig by circe? Disappointing
Young lads have needs. We all either are or were young lads once. We all get it.
Reminder that all speciulation about casting until an official announcement is just that, speculation. Christopher Nolan pretty much does what he wants.
I'd die from laughter if after all the hype of him being odysseus or telemachus he ends up being just a minor character with like 10 minutes of screen time
In the little press release about it he was listed second in the cast behind Matt Damon. So I’d presume Damon is Odysseus and Tom is Telemachus.
