Would have preferred new or lesser known actors for this.

And someone other than Nolan at the helm. 😕

LoL I know I’m in the minority in that.

Well, who did you have in mind. I don't think I've seen a Christopher Nolan movie since Memento, but I am just glad someone would make it.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

All of Nolan’s movies make me feel distant. Not bored, but uninvested. I think I’d like Mel Gibson for something like this.

His films have soul.

I thought about it, the earlier “Trojan War” is probably in the list somewhere as well. Thx. I like the production starring Armand Assante (sp?), but by large the original comes off like a romance novel from the ancient world. 😊⛵

‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ was another modern reinterpretation of the Odyssey.

Should have left him on Mars.................

I thought “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” was the modern version..........

[Diana in Wisconsin]

‘Memento’ was mind-boggling good!

[Varda]

Lupita Nyong’o as Goddess Athena . This kind of wokeness in casting ruins historical movies for me.

[ComputerGuy]

Now it all makes sense. Sorta.

[Sirius Lee]

I hope his Ulysses has a thick Southie accent.

[SunkenCiv]

Mars kicked him out.
