Brad Pitt’s Futuristic Odyssey

Brad Pitt is currently teaming up with George Miller to adapt Homer’s The Odyssey.

Warner Bros reportedly plans to take a futuristic look in outer space at the great journey of Odysseus. Variety reports that the hope is that Pitt will star and Miller will direct, with Pitt’s Plan B producing.

The storyline centers on the 10-year journey home of Greek general Odysseus following the fall of Troy.
Odysseus was the king of Ithaca and devised the Trojan Horse which aided the Greeks’ razing of Troy in the Homeric poem The Iliad.

George Miller directing the film may be contingent on whether Justice League, which he was set to direct, falls through or not.
