Elon Musk has said that his AI platform Grok Imagine will make a “historical” adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey, after the success of Christopher Nolan’s blockbusting treatment that the SpaceX founder has always criticized for its launch.
In the post on XMusk said: “Before the end of this year, Grok Imagine will produce a feature-length film of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to Homer’s art.” Musk also linked to a post containing a three-minute image that the user said was created from Grok Imagine, showing a scene between Odysseus and the nymph Calypso.
Musk has been trying to start a culture war around Nolan’s film, which stars Matt Damon as Odysseus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and it was. was released on Friday to almost universal acclaim and he benefited impressive box effects. Before releasing the film, Musk also sent sarcastic messages Nolan’s intention to cast Black actor Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, and transactor Elliot Page as Sinon, adding that “(Nolan) wants awards” and that “(he) has lost integrity”.
However, Musk’s efforts seem to have been unsuccessfuland The Odyssey taking US $264m (£196m, A$378m) at the international box office over the weekend and 97% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In May, Nyong’o responded to right-wing critics, saying: “Our players represent the world. I don’t waste my time thinking about security. There will be criticism whether I play or not”. Soon, Nolan he said the stuttering “comes with the stage“, saying: “These conversations that happen before people see the film – are always useless, because nobody knows the film.
The director was also disappointed in his assessment of the impact of artificial intelligence on filmmaking, saying: “The idea that this film replaces human nature with human creativity, to me is nonsense.” He added: “I have never seen a technology that Wall Street has adopted so well for investors and technology companies that people are so against.
