Warner Bros wins 'Odysseus' bidding war
Warner Bros has reportedly won a bidding war to bring an adaptation of the Greek epic The Odyssey to the big screen.

Jonathan Liebesman has been attached to direct Odysseus, which has been scripted by Ann Peacock and will be produced by Gianni Nunnari through Hollywood Gang Productions.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Paramount was also vying for the script, which follows the hero Odysseus as he returns to his island after the Trojan War to find it under the occupation of an invading force.

"Warner Bros is the perfect studio to bring Odysseus back to his island," Nunnari said.
