Girls I have seen the cast for Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and he is rapidly dropping out of my top ten list

Quiet public

Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Zendaya...

Why?

Quiet public

I got nothing against Matt Damon or Zendaya in general it's just

Why are they here?

If Tom Holland is Odysseus I will just not watch this movie

Quiet public

@coriander i’m going to watch it because i am a sucker fur an oddysey adaptation in the same way that i knew immediately i was going to watch sonic 3 even enough i thought sonic 2 was Shit. at this point the murrbid curiosity is too strong

Quiet public

@aescling I don't like Tom Holland, is the thing

Quiet public

@coriander wait he's doing the odyssey? that feels wrong somehow. that feels like sacred territory

like, that's risking doing the "oh cinderella, you mean the disney movie" thing. i'm pretty sure that's why we're not touching gilgamesh

Quiet public

@coriander i...i feel like i have an obligation to stop this somehow. how do i do that

Quiet public

@heatherhorns_lite That's why I've been posting about directors I would like to see do the Odyssey for the past couple hours, cos Christopher Nolan is doing it, yeah

I think the concept of an Odyssey movie is fine, it's been done before and it'll be done again, it's a cornerstone story of western culture in a way that deserves to get new audiences into it every now and again

Quiet public

@coriander that's a fair enough argument to not bother getting up from my chair to stop it

Quiet public

@coriander @heatherhorns_lite I would kill for Robert Eggers to direct this

Quiet public

@wallhackio @heatherhorns_lite I had another friend say Eggers but tbh I don't think his style would suit the Odyssey very well, he's much more focused on small-scale stories where he can dig into the psychology of his characters

Quiet public

@coriander @heatherhorns_lite that's fair actually

Quiet public

@wallhackio @heatherhorns_lite But on the flip side, having half the script be direct quotes from various translations would be sick as fuck

Quiet public

@coriander @wallhackio @heatherhorns_lite he could purrobably direct a great excerpt from the story

Quiet public

@aescling @wallhackio @heatherhorns_lite Yeah give me like a two hour movie of just the Polyphemus story or smth

Quiet public

@coriander @wallhackio @heatherhorns_lite this is the only hope fur the nolan film imo
