'ODYSSEY' EPIC MOVIE
FROM 'THE HUNGER GAMES' PRODUCTION TEAM
As 'Deadline' reports today, Lionsgate is not letting THE HUNGER GAMES production team rest after the sf franchise ends later this year. They have apparently enlisted its helmer Francis Lawrence to direct, Peter Craig to write and Nina Jacobson to produce a new epic big screen version of Homer's ODYSSEY! The production should begin as soon as the beginning of the next year!
ODYSSEY mainly follows Greek hero Odysseus and his journey home after
the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the
ten-year Trojan War. He has to overcome numerous obstacles during his
journey. In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife
Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors who
compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.
'THE VEIL' SF EPIC TRAILER WITH
WILLIAM LEVY, WILLIAM MOSELEY
Staying in the epic waters, check out the first teaser for new sf epic action movie THE VEIL starring Latin extreme superhunk William Levy! Also starring William Moseley and Nick E. Tarabay from SPARTACUS, the movie, set in a war-torn land where tribal factions live in fear of annihilation, tells the story of a deadly warrior leading a destructive war campaign. When he is betrayed by his own and left for dead, he is healed by a mysterious princess and taken in by a hidden tribe that believes he was chosen to wage a final battle.
Looking forward to "The Odyssey" -- the ancient myths just lend themselves so well to CGI.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely!
DeleteWell, you know I like warrior stories. And a Latin super hunk doesn't hurt any either. :D
ReplyDeleteand Levy is probably the hottest and the naughtiest one :)
DeleteI remember reading (some of) the story back in high school, and then we just watched a movie version.
ReplyDeletehope you liked it
DeleteOooohhhh Mr. Levy is easy on the eyes!
ReplyDeletehe is uber hot and likes to pose naked too.. which we greatly approve!
DeleteThe trailer was unimpressive to me. Wow I hope The Odyssey is done well by this team. The Hunger Games movie franchise definitely was done justice.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched HUNGER GAMES since I don't support teens and kids being depicted as assassins and killers, but ODYSSEY should be real good
DeleteLooks like something I can watch, but people need to keep their shirts on... :)
ReplyDeleteno, never, keep them of :)
DeleteThat dude spends a lot of time in the gym!
ReplyDeleteall his life, methinks
DeleteFor some reason when I saw that first picture, I thought he looked like Harrison Ford...then I remembered, Harrison Ford isn't quite that young anymore...not even CLOSE!
ReplyDeletenope, could be his grandpa, probably
DeleteI can sleep better now, knowing somebody will be saving us from something in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteI think I need a vacation and pudding.
what kind of pudding?
DeleteThat's interesting that The Hunger Games production team will be moving forward on another project together. I did like the books, but honestly, the movies were just "ehhh" to me. Not sure I'll like the new project or not.
ReplyDeleteI refused to read the books, I just can't take teens being used as killers
DeleteI was asked to play this role, but I was too busy...
ReplyDeleteyou'd have been great in it, Phil :)
DeleteLol!
Delete;)
DeleteOh my, he is pretty easy on the eyes! Looks like I will be a fan. I loved the Hunger Game books and have enjoyed all the movies so I will definitely be on the lookout for this Odyssey!
ReplyDeletehe is officially one of the hottest of the Latin hunks!
DeleteLooking forward to the Odyssey. I wonder when this movie was made last...I assume it has been.
