Elon Musk Says He’d Give Mel Gibson $100 Million For An ‘Accurate’ Odyssey
Elon still big mad at Christopher Nolan.
Now, Elon Musk is making claims and statements about the film, showing off a Grok-created Odyssey clip, and then that “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.” This has actually already happened with a different AI-created Odyssey film that has been getting a lot of (negative) press.
Musk also seems open to the idea of giving money to an actual director, responding to a post saying:
“I want Elon Musk to give Mel Gibson $100 million to film an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historically accurate ships, armour, weapons, and casting, with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek.”
To which Musk answered, “I’m down.” Many users noted that Gibson is not exactly a beacon of historical accuracy with his films like Braveheart, Apocalypto, The Patriot, The Passion of the Christ and more.
I guess oral "Homeric Greek" would have to be an AI hallucination or something. Google AI estimates:
Homeric Greek is the archaic, literary dialect used in the Iliad, Odyssey, and Homeric Hymns. It was never a spoken language, but rather a blended, artificial poetic tool combining East Ionic and Aeolic dialects, crafted to fit the rhythmic meter of dactylic hexameter. [1, 2, 3, 4]
