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. In Homer’s “The Odyssey”, the story picks up where “The Iliad” leaves off, telling the adventures of Odysseus on his way home from the Battle of Troy, although the movie version will obviously be somewhat different.

The movie is scheduled for a 2012 release, and is in pre-production at Warner Brothers studios.

Brad Pitt joins WB for ‘Odyssey’ – Entertainment News, Film News, Media – Variety.
