Elon Musk said he intends to produce a “historically accurate” version of The Odyssey using artificial intelligence. The statement came after the businessman once again criticized the film of the same name directed by Christopher Nolan.
According to Musk, his adaptation will be made entirely using his AI video-generation platform, Grok Imagine, and is expected to be released by the end of this year.
The billionaire did not reveal any details about the project but said he intends to create a version that is more faithful to the historical context of the work.
“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 said in a post on his X profile.
The statements came after Musk criticized Christopher Nolan’s casting choices for The Odyssey, particularly the inclusion of Lupita Nyong’o and Elliot Page. Internet users described the comments as racist and transphobic.
The Odyssey is an adaptation of Homer’s classic epic directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon as Odysseus. The film also features a cast that includes Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson.
