Odysseus, the main character ofThe Odyssey, also appears in this movie, played by Sean Bean.
In fact, some are wondering ifNolan should have madeThe Iliadinto a movie first.
The Odyssey is director Christopher Nolan’s take on Homer’s iconic Greek epic poem that follows Odysseus’s grueling 10-year journey home from the Trojan War.
Troy, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and released in 2004, is a historical epic based on Homer’s Iliad. The film chronicles the legendary Trojan War, focusing on the conflict between Achilles, played by Brad Pitt, and Hector, portrayed by Eric Bana. Starring Orlando Bloom as Paris and Diane Kruger as Helen, it explores themes of honor, betrayal, and the fates of the warriors involved in the siege of Troy.
