Elon Musk says he plans to challenge Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation of “The Odyssey” with an ambitious project of his own — a full-length movie created entirely with artificial intelligence.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO announced the project on X after sharing roughly three minutes of AI-generated footage depicting a scene between Odysseus and Calypso.

“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.

The footage was created using Grok Imagine, the AI image and video generation platform associated with Musk’s xAI. The technology allows users to generate images and animate them into a video, potentially opening the door to increasingly sophisticated AI-produced films.

Musk also expressed interest in a decidedly less digital approach. When an X user suggested financing a live-action adaptation directed by Mel Gibson — complete with historically accurate ships, armor and weapons, appropriate casting and dialogue spoken in Homeric Greek — Musk responded, “I’m down.”

His comments come as Nolan’s “The Odyssey” continues its theatrical run after opening in the U.S. on July 17. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus alongside Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Lupita Nyong’o. The epic reportedly grossed over $300 million worldwide in its first week.

Musk has been among those criticizing some of Nolan’s creative decisions, particularly the film’s casting.

In May, conservative commentator Matt Walsh criticized the decision to cast Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, arguing that the choice departed from how the characters have traditionally been portrayed. Musk responded to Walsh’s criticism with a simple, “True.”

Nyong’o has also drawn attention for discussing how Nolan’s adaptation gives greater consideration to its female characters.

“When you read the Iliad and the Odyssey, very little time is spent in the perspective of the women,” she said in a recent interview. “It’s all from a very masculine side of things. But this film takes time to really consider things from the female perspective.”

Musk’s proposed project would take the opposite approach, with the billionaire promising an adaptation centered on historical accuracy and fidelity to Homer’s ancient work.

Whether AI can deliver a feature-length movie capable of competing with one of Hollywood’s biggest filmmakers remains to be seen. But Musk’s pledge signals how quickly generative AI could begin challenging traditional filmmaking — even when adapting stories that have survived for thousands of years.
