Homer’s The Odyssey is set to get a shake up with Warner Bros rewriting the Greek epic to take place in space. The studio has just hired James DiLapo to write the futuristic re-imagining of the Greek epic.
The Odyssey is Homer’s follow-up to The Illiad, which the studio turned into Troy, and starred Brad Pitt as Achilles. The Odyssey tracks the struggle of Odysseus to return from those wars, as suitors line up to marry his wife, and sponge off his estate as they wait for her to make a decision.
Greek shipping heir-turned-producer Paris Kasidokostas Latsis and Terry Dougas of 1821 Pictures pitched the idea to the studio. Brad Pitt was supposed to star in the film, but is no longer considering the project.
