Apparently there is going to be some sort of "twist" with Nolan's version of The Odyssey, and I think I know what it is.

In the leaked trailer we see Telemachus talking to Smoke Local (who I think is supposed to be Nestor, lmao) about what happened to his dad. Asking him what he knows after the war, where he might have gone. And the Punisher says to him that he's heard many things, and eventually he raises his voice and says something like, "Who here has heard tales of brave Odysseus?" in a hall full of people eating.

We all know that Nolan has a hardon for telling narratives out of order, or people being unreliable with the information they provide the viewer. Think about how many of his films are put together this way. It's functionally all of them except the Batman films and Insomnia. He even did it in fucking Oppenheimer.

And so, this is what I think the "twist" is:

Rather than tell each part of the Odyssey from Odysseus' perspective, they are going to basically do a "campfire story" film where people will randomly get up and tell of some story they heard about Odysseus, and this will line up with a cliff notes version of the events from the poem. This way he doesn't have to cut any major sections, but can also truncate each plot point down to a length of time that's digestible. Otherwise the film would be like 8 hours long. If, instead, the film is situated like this, we can still get the more fantastical parts of the narrative that Nolan probably hates into film (because they're technically tall-tales being told second or thirdhand), and then Telemachus is told a more ground narrative near the end that basically gets him to go home feeling defeated. At which point, the timelines converge, and Odysseus's whole showdown with the suitors occurs but Telemachus plays a more active role because it's Nolan, and he'd do that.

I believe that. I also think Nolan is a hack. Soulless hack.
>>
>>214321025
I'd honestly prefer if Odysseus himself was narrating it since it's basically a gag in the original story that he lies alot. Making most of the film Odysseus just lying to the Phaeacians (assuming they don't get cut out) to impress them in order to get a boat ride back home would be a better way of displaying Odysseus's trickster nature while keeping the story relatively grounded.

I read a leak saying that he went the practical route and microwaved a fork for the close ups and flew a kite with a key for the long shots
>>

how much niggers and homosex in this?
>>
>>214321449
Bernthal is talking to Tom Holland in the trailer, and Holland even has top billing over Damon; the fuckin' eponymous character.
>>
The twist will be that there is a clock ticking sound in the soundtrack for the film
>>
>>214321025
The twist is that the odyssey takes place after the apocalypse 1000 years into our future

Nolan uses CGI, but he pretends he doesn’t doesn't credit the people who actually make it.

So who will portray Athena in this flick?

tldr: Nolan wants a "grounded" version of the Oddyssey

BOOOORING. Noylan needs to be brained and stopped from making movies altogether. The rewind bullshit is gonna be back in full force for this movie.
>>
>>214321432
incoherent back chatter will add to the ambience

>>214321449
easier to call that faggot Bernthal the Punisher

>>214322382

How can one man be so based?

SAAR

God I fucking hope the twist is that this isn't earth and it's instead an epic of how Odysseus found and colonized Earth.
>>
>>214323354
It’s going to be ancient aliens and the monsters are alien creations just like in Assasin’s Creed Odyssey

>Nolan hasn't made a decent film since 2010
>Piss filter cinematography by Hack van Hoytema
>Awful central casting, too many shit actors to mention
>Guaranteed terrible editing and sound mixing to hide plot holes and shit dialogue
>Overhyped, over-promoted and astroturfed by bloated marketing campaign and shills
>Matt Damon is shit outside Bourne
>Completely secular and atheistic disguised "grounded"
>Woke and insulting to Greek mythology but everyone sucks Nolan's dick so it will be called "novel, diverse and groundbreaking"
Twist or not, I'm not watching this filth.
