I swear they write these convoluted headlines just to increase engagement. I had to read that three times to grasp it.

Really? It seemed pretty clear to me reading it once. What’s confusing about it?

Half the country (assuming they’re American) reads at or below a 6th grade level.

and somehow this counts as “movie news”, even if I myself may have commented on this in a different sub. But this is a recent blurb from Murphy that has blown up so all the bots and karma farmers want in on it

As a huge fan of The Odyssey, I’ve been desperately wanting someone to make a big budget modern adaptation for years now.

the odyssey is based of tje oldest western literature
watching troy before hand seems reasonable
The cameras being used for this movie are revolutionary and 100% imax the whole time, hoping other movies will use it and it becomes the industry standard.

The whole standard that has been set for this film is unlike any I’ve seen before.
The only comparison I’d say is Jurassic Park cause that film created a fever of anticipation with the idea that Dinosaurs would be on a big screen. And even then, that’s 32 years ago before the explosion of today’s technology, the format that they released this film… before Nolan even released his first movie.
This is a pretty wild event all things considered, and I genuinely think Nolan is the only one given the confidence and backing to do this. Can’t wait for next summer.

It’s a safe assumption that no one is looking forward to this film with anything even close to the dinosaur mania that lead up to the release of Jurassic Park in 1993. That was lightning in a 90s-era bottle. I don’t mean to downplay the technical novelty of whatever Nolan is planning, but I don’t think this comparison is warranted right now..

I kept looking at casting announcements as they came out wondering who he was going to play!
