Elon Musk says xAI’s Grok Imagine will produce a full-length adaptation of Homer’s “Odyssey” that is “historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.” Musk made the announcement on X, linking to a post that included a three-minute AI-generated clip, presented as being created with Grok Imagine. Multiple outlets report Musk is aiming for the project to be completed before the end of the year, framing it as an answer to the controversy and criticism he has voiced around Christopher Nolan’s recent “Odyssey” film.
Several reports note Musk had previously criticized Nolan’s blockbuster, particularly over casting decisions that sparked debate online. At the same time, outlets also point out that Nolan’s film performs well commercially, despite the criticism.
Some coverage also mentions Musk’s openness to backing an alternative adaptation idea, including a suggestion to fund actor Mel Gibson to direct a “historically accurate” version. Across the reports, the common elements are Musk’s renewed pledge to use Grok Imagine for a full-length “Odyssey” movie, his emphasis on historical accuracy, and the timing he states is tied to the year’s end.
