Elon Musk said that his AI tool Grok Imagine will produce a feature-length adaptation of Homer’s «Odyssey» before the end of 2026. The businessman said the film would be “historically accurate” and remain faithful to the original epic poem. Kursiv LifeStyle shares the details.
Musk announced his plans on X, sharing an AI-generated video inspired by the ancient Greek epic.

«Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of ‘The Odyssey’ that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer,» Musk wrote on X.
At the same time, Musk’s statement has already raised questions among users. The «Odyssey» is considered a work of fiction, making claims about its “historical accuracy” problematic.
Over the past few months, Musk has repeatedly criticized Christopher Nolan’s «The Odyssey.» In particular, he opposed several casting choices for the film.
This creates an interesting contrast: While film industry workers are seeking to limit the use of AI in filmmaking, Musk plans to entrust the adaptation of one of the most iconic works of ancient literature entirely to an AI tool.
Previously, Kursiv LifeStyle reported that Christopher Nolan’s «The Odyssey,» starring Matt Damon, opened to major box office success. The film grossed $264.1 million worldwide during its opening weekend, setting several box office records.
