Nolan's The Odyssey - Potentially could be epic or an epic flop.
It make the entire backstory (and based on trailers, I'm assuming the opening prologue to this film - unless Nolan tells the story out of order and we end up with Iliad flashbacks in the middle of The Odyssey story - I'm not sure how much of The Iliad/Trojan War stuff is in this film) seem like a joke.
Beauty standards change over time, and the ancient Greek ideal of feminine beauty is far removed from ours. A modern audience would never accept a big-titted, narrow-waisted woman with long, elaborately-coiffed hair, carefully applied makeup, fine jewelry, and a colorful outfit accentuating her natural features as some kind of beautiful princess.
Can you imagine a modern film portraying women like these? There are several obvious problems with that approach. First, casting a European woman as a European woman would be undeniably racist. There's just no avoiding that. Second, casting a physically attractive actress as the most beautiful woman in history is simply pandering to the male gaze. (That's totally different from pandering to the male gays, which is something the film should do, but that's another discussion.) Finally, colorful costumes are known to detract from the grayness we expect in modern film. All of that might make an interesting experimental or art house film, but it would not be pleasant viewing.
Modern blockbuster film is in the trash so deep. Spielberg (as an example) hasn’t made anything good since the 21st century started, Nolan’s always been hacky but he really is riding on his own name, actors have no pride in what they do, they’re just celebrities dropped into a character so that people can wig out when they see someone they recognize.
Film is really cool and it’s a shame that there is no passion in most of what is made these days. It used to be that there was always something to look forward to, now it’s one or two things a year MAYBE. I’m excited for Dune part 3 and I like Villeneuve and Ari Aster, but there aren’t many other good established names making films regularly.
I think this is a good thing and an opportunity for the old to die away and new young, hungry and skilled filmmakers to fill that desire.
A South Korean dude being in the movie is unexpected, the immersion-breaking "diversity" in these movie is basically always browns and blacks. It's never 'hey, we cast a big-titted Japanese chick as Helen of Troy for diversity!" it's always some fatigue person.
Obviously this would still be bad in terms of accuracy to the source material, era, and geographic location but they usually default to blacks and jeets so koreans being with bronze age era Greeks is a new one.

Reminder that Robert Pattinson is the only one who asked to see the script before signing on and Lupita Oogabooga didn't know the Odyssey despite going to Yale. No one working on this film cares about the craft, just a payday.

Nolan really appeals to the midwits who think his movies are complicated studies of psychology or science. "This movie had ACTUAL SCIENTISTS WHO DID THE SCIENCE FOR THE MOVIE"... and then one of the characters was like "...but the power of love!" And I say this as a fan.

Still can't believe that an adult who's around my age wouldn't know what the Odyssey is even about. Even if you didn't read the book, it's perhaps the most referenced story if you're remotely well educated or went to school alone, even.
