[2026] Christopher Nolan's Greek myth film 'The Odyssey'

First teaser is out.....

 

Matt Damon as an American Odysseus in ancient Greece is a choice I guess. Still, I like looking at Anne Hathaway so will watch.

 

I was going to write something similar but thought nobody else would agree or care. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm sure it will be a beautifuly composed and shot movie, (with Nolan trademark difficult-to-understand dialog) and I have nothing against Damon, but I'm going to have trouble with him in this role.

 

Quick: name 1 Greek dramatic actor, no google

 

It's not that you necessarily need a Greek actor, but maybe someone not so identifiably American to play a Greek legend. Plus, we've been conditioned over many decades to expect that Ancient Greeks and Romans speak with an English accent.

We'll see how it goes.
