“Odysseus: The Fall” features an Odysseus based on the AI-generated likeness of the film\u2019s creator, Ash Koosha.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon after Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey arrives in theaters on Friday, an entirely AI-generated version of Homer\u2019s ancient epic will sail onto screens. <\/p>\n

Nolan\u2019s film, shot on 70mm IMAX cameras, is already pulling in positive early reviews. It stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, king of Ithaca, voyaging home after the Trojan War. Odysseus: The Fall features an Odysseus based on the likeness of the film\u2019s creator, Ash Koosha, co-founder of AI film studio Fountain 0. <\/p>\n

Odysseus: The Fall chronicles Odysseus\u2019 emotional and spiritual journey from inside the water. It will be available to stream later this summer. Fountain 0 says it intentionally timed the debut on the heels of a major Hollywood release, according to Tom Rogers, executive producer of the film. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to provide a basis of comparison in the same time frame with a movie coming from one of the world’s most revered directors,\u201d Rogers said in a statement, \u201cso moviegoers might be curious enough to see both films developed out of the same classic tale as a way to better understand the level at which AI is able to both contribute already to the art of filmmaking, and to increasing the number of quality films that can be offered to the public.\u201d <\/p>\n

Rogers says the studio also wanted to demonstrate that artificial intelligence can democratize ambitious filmmaking. Odysseus: The Fall clocks in at 135 minutes, placing it firmly in feature-film territory. Koosha made the film over the course of three months, working part time, and it cost \u201cmostly a small expense related to cloud token credits.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so very, very few who have access to the hundreds of millions of dollars to produce a movie through traditional means to tell a story as vast and difficult as one that does justice to the original Odyssey,\u201d Rogers said. <\/p>\n

That promise of democratization, however,…<\/p>\n
