Watch Odysseus: The Fall trailer, it arrives after Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
An AI-generated adaptation of The Odyssey has unveiled its first trailer as Christopher Nolan’s big-budget version of the Greek epic continues to spark discussion. Titled Odysseus: The Fall, the independently produced feature offers a distinct interpretation of Homer’s classic, using artificial intelligence to bring Odysseus’s story to the screen.
Directed by Ash Koosha and produced by AI film studio Fountain 0, Odysseus: The Fall runs for 135 minutes and presents a different take on the legendary king of Ithaca. According to the official synopsis, it follows “the fractured memory of a drowning man in his final minutes — a voyage that is really a trial, where every monster wears his own handwriting. Stripped of the word ‘clever,’ what remains is a man reckoning with what he actually did to get home.”
The project follows Koosha’s AI-generated feature Dream of Violets, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival. The filmmaker said he has been fascinated by Odysseus since childhood and spent years reading different versions of the ancient poem. He told Variety, “One of the things that really drove me towards this story was the character of Odysseus himself.”
The trailer arrives as public interest in The Odyssey has grown ahead of Nolan’s adaptation. It stars Matt Damon as Odysseus alongside Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and more.
Unlike Nolan’s production, which reportedly cost around $250 million, Odysseus: The Fall was produced on a significantly smaller budget, using AI-generated video technology. According to Koosha, we’re in post-production right now. Still, the script is open to interpretation. Why? Because the risks don’t exist.”
Odysseus: The Fall is currently in post-production and scheduled for release later this summer.
