Going to Mel Gibson for historical accuracy lol Lmao

Who knows more about historical accuracy than famous historian John Carter of *checks notes*...Mars

Why can’t Elon Musk use his wealth for stuff like this instead of undermining democracy?

he's not serious, but even if he were, $100 million would... not cover it

Yeah, like that time he asked the WHO how much it would cost to end world hunger, a price he could afford btw, and then decided to buy Twitter instead.

Would it be easy, though? I don't think Elon is as liquid as he pretends, and I assume everyone working on this would want to be paid in actual money.

I hope he means he's depressed.

He should go for it! Full speed, Elon!!!

“Delivered in Homeric Greek” is *chef’s kiss*

I am laughing. Oh the casting will be hilarious.

Would watch if he inadvertently gave the project to Debbie Gibson instead

Strong Graham Chapman Life of Brian vibes

Narrator: he didn’t

I look forward to them tearing each other apart when it absolutely bombs.

Musk finds a way to make a different kind of ship explode.

Please spend a hundo million on some dumbass racist nonsense that makes 4500$. Love my futurist genius Mars savior.

Production closes after a day and a half because the budget was 100 million.

Lol $100 million would get you like half a ship and 5 Armenian mercs. Good luck!

Would they include historically accurate pederasty?

The Odyssey is, like, the first work of Fiction.

He lost $20 billion on Twitter, what's another $100 million to court the right wing chuds

He won’t

Everyone is mocking but I don't think it's justified. The woke version has clearly crashed and burned - a flop for the ages - and like it or not, the rightwing alternative movie-making machine churns out hit after hit.

I'm not a betting man, but I'll bet someone 5 bucks that somebody will try to AI an adaptation very soon.

Complete with excessive flagellation

Pretty obvious none of them know what actual Bronze Age armour looks like...

I wanna see historically accurate casting of sirens and cyclops. Dugongs and Maltese pygmy elephants? :)

And it would still be shit.

Kevin Sorbo seething because he can't get cast

Easy peasy. $100 million is one ten-thousandth of $1 trillion. 10^12 / 10^8 = 10,000 It’s like a millionaire spending $100.

the shodessey

This is not the main point here but $100m is like a quarter of the Nolan budget and is probably closer in cost to a bigger budget horror movie than it is something of the Odyssey's scale.

Conservatives are obsessed with creating media they themselves would never watch

What's the point of doing it in Homeric Greek if the audience is going to need english sub titles to understand it, which just reintroduces the translation issues but at the bottom of the screen this time?

Will nazi the light of day.

youd think John Carter would want Elon to make a *John Carter* film

Historically accurate casting?

Unironically, this would be awesome. If we could just get a rock rolling downhill of right wing animus to just recreate any noteworthy artistic effort they disagree with and just piss away their lives and billions all the while.

"I don't get it! Why is this so awful and unwatchable??"

Ok but he knows the historical armor is like a metal tube right

I LOOVE that they can’t BEAR to see anything other than hyper-masculine white males in these roles, to the point where they’re willing to spend 100s of millions of dollars for *their* version They’re THAT delicate!! 🤣🤣🤣

The daily wire is right there!

Easy way to lose $98million dollars.

Ok, so in the Grok version, Helen of Troy is at least mixed, right? Because even though Homer never described her physical appearance outside of a compliment on her hair, she’s considered the love child of Zeus and either Leda or Nemesis. Nemesis was the child of Nyx, who Hesiod described as black 🤷🏽‍♀️

not sure if you want to be taking big spending on films advice from John Carter

Will he borrow the ark from the Ark Encounter in KY and adapt it for The Odyssey? Plot twist: Odysseus will have to fight two of everything.

I love that these clowns think that we have detailed knowledge about all this pre-history stuff

Elon loses $100,000,000 down the sofa. He has twice that under his fridge. He could lost that five times over and not even notice. He could absolutely make the things he wants. But he just *doesn't* What is even the point of being rich if you're not gonna do stupid vanity projects?

I’ll do it for $75M

$100 million lol incredible

Biggest dorks who have ever lived

It's on the very long list of unfulfilled promises, right behind Musk's commitment to use a small fraction of his fortune to end world hunger.

May we please get a "historically accurate" guillotine instead, Grok?

$100m is hilarious

There is a lot wrong with Mel Gibson but I'm guessing he's not dumb enough to want to try to remake a massive blockbuster while it's still in theaters.

All other issues with Mel Gibson aside, he’s 70.

1) That type of accuracy, even if possible (which is doubtful, since the archeological record is lacking) it would cost upwards of $300 million. 2) I would love to see it, because it would bomb spectacularly.

"...on Mars."

With Melania as Helen of.. Troika. Cheryl Hines as Penelope ...

I’m willing to wager a large amount of money that neither of these clowns have actually read the original Homer and have instead learned the story through…an adaptation.

Racist funding racists. What could go wrong? Also, didn’t this giant assclown say he’d cure world hunger? How’s that going?

At least these actors (if they exist) speak the way we all know the ancient Greeks spoke, in British accents.

I'm down meaning my stock is tanking.

Maybe we just bait him into doing this 14 times and he'll be broke.

They don’t know anything about anything. That’s a $600 million movie. And there is literally nothing, at all, stopping anyone from making it

A 50’ CGI Cyclops based on Trump’s image lumbering around wrecking things, as he does so well.

Is dialogue exactly like the original even possible, given that the original was passed down in its early history through a succession of orators?

painstakingly historically accurate with all white guys

lol at all of it being in Homeric Greek. Why. Why do you want that

I want to see a film about Theseus. Why has no one done a film about Theseus?

Mel Gibson is 70 years old. If he is Ulysses then we can't have a Penelope any younger than Helen Mirren.

He’s certainly rich enough not to need a Homer Loan.

Let's face it: when these chodes say 'historically accurate' what they really mean is

Is this like a fucked up version of the Avengers? Antisemites Assemble!

And full self driving by next year

"the movie was okay until Odysseus looked directly at the camera and started blaming the Hebrews for the trojan war"

I thought he was going to do it in AI.

Putting aside all the gods and demigods and mythical beasties ... what does it mean to do historically accurate Homer? Homer and his peers had absolutely no idea what historically accurate bronze age technology was like. Not a scooby doo.
