Homer’s “The Odyssey” … in outer space? That seems to be the idea behind this latest Warner Bros. announcement, which has them adapting the Greek poet Homer’s legendary “The Odyssey”, about the legendary Ithacan warrior Odysseus, who goes on an arduous journey trying to get home to Ithaca back to his loving wife and son after the events of the 10-year Trojan War, as chronicled in Homer’s other masterwork, “The Iliad”. But don’t expect swords and sandals here, because Warner Bros. has hired George Miller (“The Road Warrior”) to adapt and direct the futuristic take on the Greek tale, with Brad Pitt set to produce and probably star in.
