Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey* will be rivalled by another movie of the ancient Greek epic this year — made entirely by AI. An announcement teaser trailer for *Odysseus: The Fall* went live on YouTube today from director Ash Koosha, whose previous AI work *Dreams of Violets* managed to get selected by this year's Tribeca Film Festival. Reaction to the trailer has not been kind, featuring all sorts of AI weirdness: from jerkily moving characters to poor lip syncing, and voices that sound like they're talking into a tin can. Koosha's previous film *Dreams of Violets* was an interesting experiment in making a 70-odd minute feature within the constraints of AI generation. *Odysseus: The Fall*, however, appears to be trying to ignore those same restraints for a 135-minute feature. Nolan himself recently addressed the topic of "AI slop", and said he believed audiences still had the capacity to enjoy a three-hour Greek epic featuring actual human actors. All 2 hours and 53 minutes of *The Odyssey* will set sail when it comes to theaters July 17, 2026. There's no word yet on exactly when *Odysseus: The Fall* will debut, though it'll cost $9.99 to rent from Fountain0 when it does.
