Members Pete1111 Posted August 1 Members Posted August 1 I attended a Daniel Mendelsohn event several years ago and was so glad I did. I would love to hear him speak again. In the meantime, there are videos on YouTube. His recent translation of The Odyssey prompted Times of London to query his thoughts about the upcoming Christopher Nolan film. He posted on his Facebook page, below. Daniel Mendelsohn spoke to the Times of London about the Christopher Nolan Odyssey movie Below is the Times article. The next Oppenheimer? Christopher Nolan’s new film is selling out already My thoughts so far: I am pleased Robert Pattison has been cast. I'm a fan. He will play Hermes. I was not a big fan of Oppenheimer, but I was a fan of Dunkirk. Hopefully Nolan will pull that right strings to make The Odyssey interesting for me. Quote

Not all readers are on social media. Also, The Times is behind a paywall. WIth all respect - and very many thanks for mentioning this - I do wish those who post articles would insert a link that can be read by others without trawling through the web. Something like these 2 which I found today - https://www.danielmendelsohn.com/book/the-odyssey Quote

It's not that great of an article, nor is the Facebook post. So you aren't missing out on too much. But for those who enjoy Mendelsohn and/or Nolan, now you're aware The Odyssey: Robert Pattinson's Role in Christopher Nolan Epic Reportedly Revealed The Odyssey: Robert Pattinson's Role in Christopher Nolan Epic Reportedly Revealed Quote
