Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

Will be interesting to see how they deal with Page's size in the movie. Did they make her bigger or did they just not show her full body next to other actors? Will they trick us or do they proudly show Sinon as a tiny warrior? We shall see......

Why The Odyssey was the only story big enough for Christopher Nolan

The timeless themes of Homer’s epic – a fine but flawed hero and a longing for home – turn out to have been at the heart of much of the visionary film-maker’s work

Nolan has long displayed an uncanny knack for placing his finger smack on the cultural pulse (look at how The Dark Knight riffed on the “war on terror”), and it’s surely no coincidence that he’s now chosen to build a vast version of The Odyssey from the ground up. Yes, he’s in the best possible place to do it: Oppenheimer’s success meaning he can shoot in far-flung locations, oversee the construction of mighty practical effects and mightier sets, and pour thousands of extras into the colossal battle scenes. But there’s something to be said for Nolan now turning to Homer’s foundational tale at a time when AI is threatening the human act of storytelling. This is a film-maker who’s long preached the importance of the cinematic experience over streaming endless “content” that can be watched on phones, and he’s now settled on the OG story to provide viewers with a supercharged hit of pure cinema: soul and spectacle. “I made a decision when I was writing the script that I wanted the film to be accessible,” Nolan says.

Christopher Nolan explains why ‘The Odyssey’ uses modern English for dialogue

Christopher Nolan has explained why he chose contemporary dialogue for 'The Odyssey', describing it as a "no-brainer".

He discussed wanting to find “language that has emotional not intellectual meaning to people,” opting for contemporary accents and dialogue over something elevated or theatrical. “I was maybe being naïve, it might bite me on the ass, but I wanted an earthy narrative,” he explained. “To me it was a no-brainer.”
 
Pretty much everyone agrees Uwe Boll is bollie.

Some of us agree that Nolan isn't such a great director as well. Nothing left or right about it, just personal opinions and tastes.
