AI-Generated Odyssey Movie Costing a Few Thousand Dollars Unveiled Ahead of Nolan’s $250 Million Feature
An AI-generated film, Odysseus: The Fall, with a budget of a few thousand dollars, is set to release ahead of Christopher Nolan's $250 million epic, The Odyssey.
The AI-generated film, Odysseus: The Fall, has been unveiled by Fountain O, a company that produces full-length AI-generated films and TV series. The film, directed by Ash Koosha, is based on the Greek hero Odysseus and had a budget of "mid-five figures," or a few thousand dollars.
What happened
Fountain O, a new artificial intelligence-driven company, has announced its second feature, Odysseus: The Fall. The film is directed by Ash Koosha, who also created the earlier AI-generated Iranian resistance movie Dream of Violets that cost $2,000 to make and debuted at Tribeca.
The AI-generated Odysseus: The Fall, at 135 minutes in length, offers its own take on Odysseus' journey home, centering on "the fractured memory of a drowning man in his final minutes — a voyage that is really a trial, where every monster wears his own handwriting."
