It looks like a sequel to Troy!

Yeah, I know, it is a sequel to the Iliad. My point is, the movie Troy was a dull conventional adaptation full of Hollywood tropes and anachronistic armour. I would hope for something more, well, unconventional from Nolan. Even the telling of the story in two timelines that converge at the end has been done before - indeed I suspect it’s where Nolan got the idea for Dunkirk from.

Still maybe he will pull off some sort of surprise. Maybe it’s actually James Joyce in fancy dress.

They only recently finished principal photography. I imagine the supernatural stuff and the fancy special effects aren’t final yet. There’s months before it comes out. I’m sure we’ll see more.

I wasn’t really thinking of the supernatural stuff. Irrespective of it it goes for grounded or high fantasy, it still looks very conventional.

You’re not exactly known for liking things. I’m looking forward to it.

 

[Vael]

Geez, this looks washed out and drab.

I'll watch it, 'cause I'm a sucker for these tales, but what I wouldn't give for someone with a more colorful and ... well, gay, sensibility to have made this film.

It's certainly not a patch on the classic retelling.

 

[Reynard]

For me, the most disappointing aspect of Troy was the lack of supernatural elements. So I am perfectly happy to.endure Nolan's color pallette and sense of style for an Odyssey with God's and stuff.

Yeah, great show that!

Yeah, great show that!

It always tickled me that the show began with Ulysses having negotiated a trade treaty with King Priam of Troy.

“Great talk, your Majesty, so glad we didn’t have to raze your city to the ground like in the original story.”
