After turning Homer's epic poem "The Iliad" into the 2004 film "Troy," Warner Bros. and Brad Pitt are teaming with George Miller to adapt the Greek poet's other masterwork, "The Odyssey."
Their intention is to transfer the tale to a futuristic setting in outer space.
Both Homer poems dealt with the Trojan War; "The Odyssey" focused on the exploits of Odysseus, who hatched the idea to build the Trojan Horse. "The Odyssey" deals with his long journey home after he declines to become a god.

Troy was a fantastic movie but 'The Odyssey' being futuristic? An interesting idea, I'll have to keep my eyes on it.
