A couple of days ago Screen Rant reported on the fact that Warner Bros. had won a fierce bidding war against Paramount for the rights to Odysseus, which retells the tale of the legendary Greek King.

We already have a basic outline for the film (given below), but we now also have some more details as to how the film might shape up: According to THR, the intent is to make a “sleepy swords-and-sandles epic but a bloody relentless revenge movie,” that is described as being like “300 meets Taken.“ Liebesman also revealed that he sees it being akin to the newest Rambo film in the sense that it’s, “where one guy just kicks a lot of ass.”

That certainly sounds like an interesting take on the tale…
