MAD MAX’s George Miller To Team With Brad Pitt For Sci-Fi Space ODYSSEY??

I am – Hercules!!
Brad Pitt wants George Miller (the "Mad Max" and "Babe" series and the upcoming "Justice League" movie) to direct him in an outer space version of Homer's ancient poem "The Odyssey," which dealt with one man's journey home following his adventures in the Trojan War. Pitt recently starred as Achilles in "Troy," a tale of the Trojan War based on Homer's "The Illiad." Stanley Kubrick made an sci-fi outer space version of "The Odyssey," set in the far-future year 2001, that MGM released in 1968. The Coen Bros. created a Depression-era version of "The Odyssey" with 2000's "O Brother Where Art Thou." Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
