The Odyssey

Extended trailer for Christopher Nolan's Odyssey

by · Boing Boing

Chris Nolan may be done making Batman movies, but you could be mistaken for thinking otherwise with how dark, gritty and full of black armor his upcoming The Odyssey movie is shaping up to be. Better-informed historians than I have torn into this movie for its lack of any real-world historical aesthetic. It may be fantasy based on a myth, but surely that's an excuse to go bigger with it, not put everyone in weird rubber armor?

Regardless, a new trailer for the movie has been released, featuring a look at the Trojan Horse (which was not actually in the Odyssey, meaning this already long story is likely to be lengthened even further by flashbacks to the Aeneid).

I thought Oppenheimer was self-indulgent, but this somehow looks even more so. Still, any movie with Robert Pattinson in it is one I'm at least a little interested in.
