LOS ANGELES, April 27 (UPI) -- Hollywood's Warner Bros. studio has hired Jonathan Liebesman to direct a movie inspired by Homer's epic Greek poem "The Odyssey."
Variety.com said the screenplay for "Odysseus" was written by Ann Peacock, who previously worked on "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
Liebesman's directing credits include "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning."
"Odysseus" is about what happens when the king of Ithaca returns home after years of fighting the Trojan Wars and discovers his kingdom is occupied by an invading force, the entertainment industry trade newspaper noted.
Warner Bros. released the Trojan War-themed film "Troy" in 2004. Starring Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Diane Kruger, that movie was loosely based on Homer's "Iliad."
