“The Odyssey” in outer space?
Let’s see. Alien (1978) was Jaws (1975) in a space ship. And Outland (1981) was High Noon (1952) on one of Jupiter’s moons. Now this:
After turning Homer’s epic poem “The Iliad” into the 2004 film “Troy,” Warner Bros. and Brad Pitt are teaming with George Miller to adapt the Greek poet’s other masterwork, “The Odyssey.”
Their intention is to transfer the tale to a futuristic setting in outer space.
Where else could we set The Odyssey? Western? Urban hip hop? Musical? Put on your thinking caps!
