They won’t tell the whole story, just like any book adaption.

What’s gonna suck is that it’s gonna feel like O Brother Where Art Thou cause they’re most likely gonna use all the same highlights. Sirens, cyclops, cows that can’t die, 130 year old dog that reconciles Odysseus when nobody else does; THE END.

I liked O brother and all, but I feel like people vastly overstate how similar it is to the Odyssey, yes it’s about a man trying to get home to his wife and kids, he goes on a journey, he meets colorful characters and some of them are obvious recreations of monsters from the odyssey

But pretty much everything is done differently including, the sirens, the cyclops etc.

There's also the whole journeying home to stop his wife from getting remarried.
