WB Sets Course For "The Odyssey"

Warner Bros. is planning a new big screen adaption of Homer's epic poem sequel "The Odyssey" says Deadline.


The story follows Odysseus and his famed journey home after the fall of Troy - a voyage that includes encountering a cyclops, the witch-goddess Circe, the Sirens, and the narrow passage between the six-headed monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis.

Russian filmmaker Fedor Bondarchuk ("Stalingrad") has been hired to direct "Odysseus," using Jeremy Doner adapted script.

Gianni Nunnari, Bernie Goldmann, Shannon Gaulding, Michael Schlicht and Paul Heth will produce the pic.

The studio already adapted Homer's prequel poem The Iliad chronicled in the film "Troy" starring Brad Pitt
