Elon Musk has mentioned that his AI platform Grok Imagine will make a full-length, “historically accurate” movie of the Odyssey within the coming months.
The tech trillionaire made the assertion on his social media platform X on Wednesday, simply days after Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster model of the traditional Greek epic was launched in film theaters all over the world.
“Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer,” Musk wrote.
His publish featured a hyperlink to a three-minute clip of a scene between the hero Odysseus and the nymph Calypso, as created by Grok Imagine.
The publish got here hours after Musk responded to a different consumer who urged he stump up $100 million for Mel Gibson “to film an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historically accurate ships, armour, weapons, and casting, with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek.”
Musk replied: “I’m down.”
The Tesla boss has made no secret of his emotions about Nolan’s model of the epic. Earlier this month he launched a scathing assault on the director for his casting choices.
In a publish on July 6, which has been considered 1.8 million instances, Musk wrote: “Chris Nolan desecrated Homer and groveled on his knees just to meet the woke rules required to win an Oscar. What a worm.”
He beforehand amplified the publish of an X consumer who urged that Nolan was a “coward” for casting Black actress Lupita Nyong’o’ as Helen of Troy for worry of being referred to as a racist. Musk commented “true” and has since repeatedly expressed this view. Replying to another person’s publish on the problem of casting, he wrote in May: “Chris Nolan is an anti-White racist.”
The criticism is unlikely to do a lot to dent Nolan’s temper proper now. His star-studded adaptation pulled in additional than $264.06 million at field workplaces all over the world on the opening weekend, in keeping with Comscore Movies.
