Elon Musk has backed a proposal for Mel Gibson to direct a historically accurate remake of Homer's Odyssey after criticising Christopher Nolan's recent film adaptation. The SpaceX and Tesla chief responded 'I'm down' on X to a suggestion he provide $100 million (£74.8 million) for the project featuring painstakingly authentic ships, armour, weapons and casting with all dialogue in Homeric Greek.
Nolan's The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, opened last weekend to strong numbers and reviews despite the backlash over its casting choices.
