apparently, director george miller thought it would be a good idea to once again cash in on one of Homer's classics- The Odyssey. naturally, Brad Pitt is in talks to star. here is where his idea goes a wry, because i for one, am not necessarily opposed to seeing pitt in a loin cloth, sweaty, and tan.
the new version of Odysseus's journey will take place in space people. really? your that unimaginative that you must resort to these gimmicks? how THE FUCK are they going to pull that off?
didnt this guy see Jason X? you know where they took a perfectly acceptable serial killer/monster who was content killing people on earth and brought him on some spaceship. it was a terrible idea.

youre going to be alienating all sorts of people here. (1) the people who saw Pitt in Troy are going to be very confused when they see that Achilles, who died in said film, is once again alive, but playing a character of a different name. (2) the people who are obsessed with all things space, ie Battlestar Gallactica, Star Trex, and Star Wars will be all "WTF this is blasphemy", and (3) all the people who appreciate the original epic poem and the art of Greek/Roman mythology are going to be like "WTF this is blasphemy".
just dont go there george miller. and why is it that the only people coming up with original screenplays these days are indie writers/directors? everythings a fucking book adaptation or a remake. from now on im sticking to the Sundance Channel and ifc.
