I’ll see this movie based on Nolan’s history of excellent movies, but the casting choices are raising some doubts about how good this can be. I’m up for suspending disbelief in the service of a good story, but Matt Damon as Odysseus is a real stretch, and a black Helen defies all common sense.

MSN is optimistic. So, we know now, don’t we?

I will go see this in the movie theaters. Odysseus was away from home for 20 years. 10 years at war, 10 years making it back to Ithaca with his men. Charlize Theron as Circe will be prime. Jon Bernthal is dynamic.

John Leguizamo is the only real dud in casting.

Ah yes, family members saying your work is great, no bias at all

[irishjuggler]

Well, that settles it. If Jon Nolan says his brother’s movie is great, what more could anyone want?!!

[FreedomForce]

Matt Damon is enough to make me not see it.

Now Helen is melanated. Gotta keep it real for the urban audience. “Medea Goes to Troy Next Friday” The wig that launched a thousand riots.

I wish I had the money to make a movie. I would cast Gary Busey as MLK.

'Nobody is hurting me!'. What the Cyclops was screaming as a red hot log was being driven into his only eye. There is a theory that the ancients found the bones of a Woolly Mammoth and figured it was once a giant one eyed human based on the hole in the skull .

It has been awhile since we've had any new movies based on Greek mythology. With the latest technology it could be quite spectacular. What concerns me is how much woke nonsense is going to be packed into it.

Hell-No of Detroit, the face that could not even launch a canoe is part of that worry!

A Black woman playing Helen of Troy.

An absurdity that dooms it at the box office.

Hollywood is simply not capable of making a movie that appeals to America, or normal people. I used to think it was the executive forces holding down the writers, forcing them to put woke (I hate that ghetto term) messaging into their writing. But, like other communist tendencies, I believe the writers hate America more than the heads of the studios.

…Anne Hathaway…

Oh, wow! Anne Hathaway! She’s gonna play Helen if Troy for sure, right? 🙂

Right? 😦

If Helen is African, I will await the Torrent. Not gonna fund White cultural genocide.

I first read the Odyssey back in High school in 1961. Loved it.
Have read it several times. Have just finished THE ILIAD and re-reading THE ODYSSEY again.
I read much about beautiful White armed fair haired HELEN.

I have read on the Internet she will have a very VERY dark tan and kinky hair.
