This will be fun...the comments I mean...
Matt Damon getting lost and trying to get home.
Again??
Steely Dan’s “Home At Last” loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey

Far more interesting would be a movie of Nikos Kazantzakis’ “The Odyssey, a Modern Sequel”
I’d be looking forward to this a lot more if Matt Damon wasn’t in it. He seems miscast.
Hard to beat the 1997 miniseries.
Why would you pick an actor known for playing slow-witted characters — and cast him as the wily Odysseus?
Ok I watched the trailer. No, that’s not good as the 1997 film.
While the ancient Greeks had their dark side, not all about brilliant sunlight and sun-baked lands — still, that trailer must have been filmed in Hades. Ugh!!
“The Return” had only come out a couple of years ago. That one focuses on the end of The Odyssey, when Odysseus returns home and takes care of business. I heard good things about it.
Last year, “The Return” with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche was released. It covered the last chapters of the Odysseus. It was low budget (beyond the leading cast) and I found it slight and disappointing.
I look forward to this one. I’ve read the Odyssey three or four times in different editions.
It’s a Greek story, so of course half the cast has to be...BLACK?
Matt Damon has been a big no for me ever since his character in Good Will Hunting promoted Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. Damon and Affleck wrote the script for that movie.
How did he get so famous? He is a crap actor. The only thing I liked him in was Team America...
Armond Assante he is not.
Jason Bourne hoes Greek, yeah right.
@sunkenciv I tagged godsgravesglyphs for this.
Would have preferred new or lesser known actors for this.
And someone other than Nolan at the helm. š
LoL I know Iām in the minority in that.
