Tom Holland doesn’t strike me has having the physical presence to portray a Greek Hero. Zendaya is just... extremely limited.

Christopher Nolan might be the best current A list director for this kind of project. His films are serious; he’s avoided the really cringeworthy stuff and does high budget blockbuster projects with discipline and integrity. Thank goodness they didn’t give this project to Ridley Scott, who has done some great films in the past but who has gone off the rails (House of Gucci, Napoleon, Gladiator 2). I have hopes for this one. Mixed feelings about the cast announced so far.

More sword-fighting skeletons, I hope.

“Oppenheimer” was an awful film.

“To be perfectly honest, I don’t really know what it’s about,” admitted Holland in an interview with The Dish podcast. He also revealed that he had met with Nolan and described his pitch for the film as “awesome.”

I don't know if it is an intentional marketing gimmick, but Holland always comes across as an absolute airhead. The pitch was awesome! I have no idea what the movie is about!

I think that’s a great idea. It was the “Star Trek” of its time.

To bad Ray Harryhauser isn’t still alive. The cyclops scene would be amazing.

Now if the guy was doing the film of “The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel” by Nikos Kazantzakis, it would be worth watching, but like other great works of modern literature its beyond their talent (sic).

I don’t think I could sit through the “Argus the Dog” scene without bursting into tears.

Anything like the movie “Ulysses” with Kirk Douglas, or the made-for-TV mini-series version with lots of actors from the 1980s?
I hope they do justice to some of the greatest literature ever put down on paper. I have read them. Great Books! Kept me sane in my troubled teen years. Gave me a love of great Literature whereas those dull required English novels almost gave me a dislike of literature. Then the class read The Odyssey and my life changed. At the age of 14 I managed to get an adult library card at the Carlsbad NM library and my outlook on life changed for the better!
