The Greek Mythology Movie Christopher Nolan Almost Directed Before The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan is one of the most popular and respected managers in Hollywood today. He does not make a famous epic like “Dunkirk”, but his films are very popular. “Obenheimer” achieved nearly one billion dollars and won the Best Photo Award at the Academy Awards. This mixture of financial success and industry extensions is very rare. But Nolan was not always from the A-Lister tools that could choose the projects he wanted mainly at the will. An example of this: Although he made “Odyssey” while we were talking, he was previously flirting with another Greek legend movie that ended up with a different way out.

Recently, writer David Joire spoke with the “Happy Sad Confused” in honor of the twentieth anniversary of “Batman Begins”, which was directed by Nolan. “I heard that Chris may develop the new Batman movie and remember telling my agent,” well, it will never be made. “None of these men can get it.”

To Goyer’s Point, many writers were trying to get a movie “Batman” from Earth in Warner Bros. After the failure of Joel Schumacher. Nolan became the man who achieved this, but this was not yet, according to Goyer, of which he offered him the beloved super heroes in the capital as a funeral prize for not obtaining “TOY” for the year 2004. This is what he said on this topic:

“The paradox is that it seems that Batman was a funeral prize for Chris because he was developing” Troy “. Then, at some point,” Troy “was replaced and given to [Wolfgang Petersen]. I think Wolfgang Petersen was developing “Batman vs. Superman”, so I think they had exchanged. This was supposed to be a funeral prize, I think.

There is a lot to empty it there, but let’s start with the fact that yes, Wolfgang Petersen was to direct a very dark version of “Batman vs. Superman” written by Andrew Kevin Walker (“Seven”) in the early first decade of the twentieth century, more than a decade before Zack Snyder was the truth with “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice: “. As Joire tells her, leave Warner Bruce. Let this release go and Petsen ended with “Troy”, which he starred in Brad Pitt in the Homer’s novel entitled “The Iliad”.

Meanwhile, Nolan, who was launched from “MEMENTO” and “Insomnia”, was granted the opportunity to get a new Batman from the ground. A 2013 article revealed from the deadline that “Nolan was directed by” Troy “(released in 2004) but he did not feel it,” and because he was always an interest in Batman, he was installed in obtaining the privilege of WB executives. The rest is the date, with “Batman Begins” for the year 2005 that completely invented the superheroes on the big screen.

This paved the way for “The Dark Knight” 2008, which is still one of the most famous films that prevailing in all times, as well as “The Dark Knight Rieses”, which was, for a period of time, the highest DC movie ever. However, it does not seem to appear, based on the final date report, that Batman was in any way a funeral prize for Nollan. In any case, it is interesting to think about a world in which “Troy”, which was already a big movie, instead of “Batman Begins”, would have changed the course of his entire career.

Meanwhile, Nolan is currently photographing “The Odyssey” of the Universal Pictures, a Greek epic with the McDs crew that also depends on Homer’s works (to simplify it, it is basically a complement to “Troy”). Although his flirting with “Troy” was throughout those years, it is great that all of this comes somehow after more than 20 years.

The “The Odyssey” is scheduled to reach theaters on July 17, 2026.
