An AI-generated film adaptation of "The Odyssey" has been announced. “Odysseus: The Fall” is a 135-minute AI-generated movie from AI film studio Fountain 0 and director Ash Koosha. The movie will be available to rent or buy on Fountain 0’s website later this summer. “I’ve been just obsessed with it since I was a kid,” Koosha said in an interview. “One of the things that really drove me towards this story was the character of Odysseus himself, and my take on it — the feeling that I’ve had over the years reading different takes on it, and different translations — and my take was something that I just wanted to tell.
