Christopher Nolan is a bad fit for the odyssey
Christopher Nolan for better or worse is a director who makes movies with very grounded tones. When he made Batman movies he wanted to make the character as plausible and grounded in reality as possible and removed all fantastical elements from the Batman world (I’m personally not a fan of this approach but that’s another thing)
he has made science fiction movies (inception, interstellar) but they are hard science fiction.
All of this is why I am completely baffled that he would even want to adapt a story like the odyssey.
The odyssey is a fantastical story involving gods and monsters and is far from grounded, gritty and realistic (words I associate with Nolan)
Nolan is not a bad director, he has made good movies in the past but he is not the right person to direct an adaptation of the odyssey. This is the guy who wouldn’t even let joker have bleached skin
I just don’t think a fantasy story is his wheelhouse.
